In planning for post-adoption visits, consideration needs to be given to the child’s social and emotional development and previous attachment experiences.
This workshop explores what we know, through both research and clinical experience, about the way children transition between caregivers, how they process grief and loss and what eases the pain of these changes. Practical strategies are explored for planning the frequency, length of time and location of visits to suit the individual needs of children. Troubleshooting potential conflicts, and managing expectations, will also be explored so that participants feel they are well equipped to handle common concerns that may present.
