Caring with Carers

Trauma informed care training. It’s time to bridge the gap

At Caring with Carers, we are passionate about training prospective and existing carers because we understand the benefits it can have. Through evidence based education, you’ll see a noticeable shift in placement longevity which, in turn, helps develop and strengthen relationships.

We offer a range of trauma informed care training workshops including Therapeutic Life Story Work training as well as training to support your decision on taking on the role of a carer.

Leading the way in the out of home care sector

Free your time so you can focus on those that need you most

As part of our foster care services to support the out-of-home care sector, Caring with Carers offer a range of assessments.

Foster care services assessments are conducted in a timely manner so suitable applicants can commence caring and children may have a safe place to call home. A thorough foster care assessment process also assures that unsuitable applicants are not authorised. Authorisation of unsuitable applicants can lead to placement breakdown which means children without homes and additional pressure back on the agency.

Details on our sessions can be found below.
