SERVICE DETAILS
There are often additional complex healthcare issues for a child in kinship care, for example, around birth parents’ mental health, fear of inherited conditions, challenges relating to consent and confidentiality and interfamilial tensions relating to the child coming into care in the first place. These workshops help support carers to manage the care.
Do you have a relative’s child living with you (Kinship Care) in a formal or voluntary arrangement?
Do you have any questions relating to the child’s healthcare?
Our workshops are here to help!
