The Family Place provide specialist and flexible therapeutic interventions for children who have been impacted by early years trauma, and their families. This includes adoptive, kinship and foster care families and young people in residential settings.
Our aim is to strengthen the relationship between children, young people and the adults caring for them. We do this by helping to deepen everyone's understanding in a safe and therapeutic environment. We involve parents and carers as they are the people who can help their children most.
Viv Norris, from The Family Place writes: "The Family Place is an adoption support service registered with the Care Inspectorate in Wales and provides assessment and therapy services for adopted, fostered and kinship care families (www.thefamilyplace.co.uk). DDP is one of our core trainings, with all clinical staff trained and several qualified as practitioners and consultants, with one qualified DDP trainer. We are really excited to be part of the RIGHT trial and particularly pleased that Welsh families are now able to benefit".
