Adoption Training Courses

Our adoption training can help future adopters learn and develop skills to better understand the needs of adopted children. It can contribute to creating a more nurturing and stable environment for the adopted child.

The course is suitable for both prospective adopters and experienced adopters. Our online adoption courses cover the following topics:

• Understanding Early Trauma and the Impact on Young People
• Social Media, Selfies and Sexting
• Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
• Supporting the Mental Health Needs of Looked After Children
• Drug and Alcohol Awareness
• Self-Harming Behaviours
• Life Story Work

Our adoption training courses aim to help and support adoptive parents to understand and overcome common adoption-related challenges. Our training programme looks at a therapeutic parenting approach. Some common challenges adoptive parents may face include, attachment issues, behavioural and emotional challenges, and trust issues. Completing our training on adoption will help support children and young people with these challenges.
