In this session, we will explore the importance of empathy and understanding when dealing with children that have experienced trauma. By tapping into your empathy and curiosity as a foster carer, you will be well positioned to develop deep, meaningful and lasting connections with children in your care.

These narratives will illuminate the path for prospective foster carers, offering insights into the practical application of empathy in various everyday situations that arise when fostering a child or children.
