Enhanced Connections - The Enhanced Connections Group is a unique, stimulating, empowering and experiential group aimed at adopters, foster carers and SGO carers who care for children who have experienced trauma. This online group runs over a number of weeks and consists of weekly 2.5 hour sessions with up to 8 participants. The group is facilitated by two experienced children and families Diagrama social workers who hold additional therapeutic qualifications and practice knowledge. Previous attendees have told us just how helpful they have found the group:

"It is powerful having time to reflect with others on some of the challenges we face and how we respond to these challenges. The group leaders were so helpful in enabling me to consider how and why I respond in the way I do and this has really helped me in my role as an adoptive parent."
