We also offer Tree of Life workshops. Using the metaphor of a tree as a framework, these workshops assist children and young people who have experienced adversity and trauma to explore, discuss and narrate the positive and challenging aspects of their lives. We invite them to explore connections with others and gain confidence, self-awareness, trust and a sense of belonging.
Details about dates, times, venue and booking can be found on the Calendar.
We understand how important it is for permanent care, kinship care and adoptive families to be able to connect with other families to share their experiences. Family days bring families together and provide children and parents with a fun day out. See our Calendar for the next family events.
