    Life story book research

    I have been hearing a lot of rumblings from the adoption community about the lifestory books and some of the recent changes. So I decided to delve into it and see if I could find out what adopters experiences of the books were, my research didn't find great stories sadly. 

     

    Do you have any suggestions on how we could improve them?

    Attachment relationships

    Little dude was in a “relationship” that ended, he then showed all of the signs of his attachment style as that relationship came to an end. 

    But I did get to see him for dinner, which made me a super happy guy!

    Profiling event

    I was asked to attend a profiling event and speak with the prospective adopters about our journey and our experiences of contact, throughout the day however, I did have a few moments that caught my eye and sadly...caused some frustrations. In today's episode, I am having a little moan...sorry!

    RIGHT research project

    In this week's episode I am joined by Helen and Fiona, they are working on a research project that is aimed at supporting adopted children and their families. I wanted to learn all about it and to spread the word. 

     

    Are you interested in taking part in the RIGHT research trial and contributing to improving care pathways for adopted and fostered children? The Right trial is looking to determine the effectiveness of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy versus other appropriate treatment, offered to children experiencing difficulties related to early years trauma. We are also looking to identify how care pathways can be improved to ensure our vulnerable children are easily able to access the right treatment at the right time.

     

    RIGHT is currently recruiting for adoptive families in the following areas: Hertfordshire, Central Bedfordshire, Bedford, Oxfordshire, Lanarkshire, Doncaster, East Midlands – Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Nottinghamshire, West Midlands – Wolverhampton, Dudley, Sandwell, and Walsall

    And for children in a long-term foster placement in:

    Lanarkshire, Nottingham City, Norfolk, Oxfordshire

     

    Get in touch with us at [email protected] or find out more at www.gla.ac.uk/right
