Beyond the Placement virtual group

Online

This group is led by two kinship carers. One has been a kinship carer for 4 years and is also a qualified social worker of 13 years. The other has been a kinship carer for 17 years and is an author of kinship-themed books for children. This is a safe space for kinship carers and special guardians to come together to discuss our experiences of kinship care beyond the placement. We talk openly, unapologetically and without judgement, explore the psychological impact of kinship on carers and families, and discuss and share coping mechanisms. Those with lived experience can fully understand how kinship care changes your life from your future, to finances and family relationships. Together we find our paths from surviving to thriving. Find your tribe who have lived experience of kinship.
