Adopted/Fostered/Kinship Care

PSC believes that care-experienced children/young people, including anyone who has been or is currently in care, need extra support.

If given the right support, care-experienced children & young people can overcome adverse childhood experiences & lead fulfilling lives.

We run monthly groups for adopted children & those living with kinship/connected carers or special guardians. Play therapists & music therapists from Whole Step CIC run the group sessions while parents/carers take part in an informal support group.
