Online Sessions...
We can offer short bitesize sessions on some of the workshop topics: mental health and emotional wellbeing, ways to cope with stress and anxiety, loss and change. These will be advertised on our website.
Normal service details:
We have developed a series of workshops to help foster carers and others gain a deeper understanding of the health needs and rights of children and young people, so that they can be best supported at times of illness and enabled to access appropriate healthcare services.
We provide training directly to Foster Carers. We also design bespoke sessions to suit specific needs and interests. This training is delivered FREE OF CHARGE as Children’s Health Scotland is funded by the Scottish Government and other trusts and foundations.

- Managing the healthcare needs and rights of children in care
- Mental health and emotional wellbeing for children in care
