‘Understanding the Trauma of Children from Institutions. A training manual for case workers’ is not only useful for people involved in moving children from institutions to families to increase their knowledge and awareness about the effects of institutionalisation and how they can support families to help children catch up. Because it gives detailed information about how care in institutions differs from care in families and in what ways this causes harm, it also provides important ‘ammunition’ for advocacy for alternative care reform towards family-based care and family strengthening.
In this video, I provide a taste of the information useful for advocacy that can be found in the training manual. You can find it on YouTube, HERE.
If you are interested in further videos on the various topics covered in the training manual. Or if you would like to partner with me to receive training based on the manual, to ensure that all staff is aware and prepared to enable sustainable transition of care, please do not hesitate to contact me.
