The Essential Guide to Kinship Care Trauma-Informed Practical Help for You and Your Family

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

You might just have been told that someone needs you to care for a child or have been caring for a child for quite some time. Maybe you know the child, perhaps you are their grandparent? Or maybe the child is connected to someone in your family, but you hardly know them.

You may have a lot of conflicting feelings. Maybe you are relieved that the child is with you, or perhaps you feel resentment at the interference of others? It might all be rather overwhelming, even if you have been a kinship carer for quite some time. Whatever the situation, when Kinship Care is sought, it can often come out of the blue.

Sarah Naish and Enza Smith provides the answers to all of your burning questions. Dip-in dip-out sections help you with the immediate hurdles you might face, such as bereavement, issues with drugs or alcohol, child abuse, and more as well as challenges which may arise later in your kinship care journey. This book fills the information vacuum of support and ensures you always have an easy-to-access comforting friend within its pages.
