During the first 6 months of our Kinship Response programme, 78% of kinship carers reported feeling less lonely and 79% less isolated. A key element of this is #peersupport. grandparentsplus.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
This University-Edinburgh-led study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on children aged 1-5 years and their families. All families are invited to take part: edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d5…
Let’s always listen very carefully to an adoptive parent to ensure we have understood all they are saying. It is important we get how complex parenting is when trauma is in the mix......
Day 10 of our resource advent is inspired by @BDPerry, these simple brainstem calmers give you simple ideas to build on to help regulate a child who feels ‘too much’ or ‘too little’. calendar.myadvent.net/?id=c3ec814dd7…
Connection is a key part in helping the nervous system to calm yet how do we offer it when it's continually rejected? Day 8 of our resource advent offers ways to provide ‘tolerable’ connection for those kids who move away from love and nurture. calendar.myadvent.net/?id=c3ec814dd7…

Hi Christine, of course. This is a really interesting study. If you are a kinship carer or foster carer in the UK, you can take part.
