Caring for the Challenging Child

Tuesday 01 October

10am – 1pm

Zoom online                                                                                    

Professor Richard Rose offers carers an interactive and practical approach focusing on communication strategies, understanding where the child’s behaviour is coming from and providing a number of tools for carers to use in managing challenging situations.

Throughout his Social Work career, Richard Rose has worked with children and their families in out of home care and within birth family placements, with the aim of enabling these placements to become healthy and nurturing. Richard is the author of The Child’s Own Story - Life Story Work with Traumatised Children (2004); Life Story Therapy with Traumatised Children - A Model for Practice (2012) and Innovative Therapeutic Life Story Work (2017). In 2020 he founded Therapeutic Life Story Work International (TLSWi).

The session is designed for kinship, foster and permanent carers.
