Adopt North East and CATCH renew partnership for lifelong family support

This renewed commitment underscores Adopt North East’s focus on providing outstanding, long-term support to their families.

Adopt North East’s promise to adopters is a profound statement of their values, and it aligns perfectly with CATCH’s core mission:

• Support without stigma: They believe that accessing support should be a normal and positive part of every adoptive family’s journey. CATCH provides a welcoming, non-judgmental space for families to access resources whenever they need them.
• Timely and proactive help: Adopt North East understands that early identification of needs can prevent greater challenges. Our 24/7 online platform offers a crucial resource for this, providing immediate access to expert-led information and training.
• Holistic family well-being: The agency focuses on supporting the mental health and well-being of the entire family. CATCH is designed to empower parents, strengthening their relationships and enabling them to be a key source of support for their children.
• Trauma-informed approach: Adopt North East provides support that is trauma-informed and reflects the diverse ways trauma can impact children. CATCH is built on this very principle, offering a wide range of content and expert guidance that helps families understand and respond to trauma-related behaviours.

The commitment of Adopt North East to providing a diverse range of help is a testament to their dedication to families, whether they’ve pursued early permanence, traditional adoption, or inter-country adoption.

Nik Flavell, Head of Service for Adopt North East says:

“Adopt North East is proud to partner CATCH for another year. As a Regional Adoption Agency, we seek to support adopters to develop trauma-informed parenting skills. CATCH is a superbly curated, informative and highly valued support to many of our adopters, as well as an integral part of our preparatory training. Feedback from adopters and from practitioners is clear that CATCH helps the Agency strengthen families and improve outcomes.”

Ray Vernon – Digital Partnership Executive at PACT says:

“Adopt North East’s dedication to providing exceptional support shows they truly understand the adoption journey. It’s refreshing to work with regional adoption agencies that makes post-adoption support a core part of their ethos. Adopting is just the beginning; like any family, there will be challenges along the way. It must be a great comfort to prospective adopters to know their agency is committed to being there for them, every step of the way.”

We are incredibly proud to continue working with the fantastic team at Adopt North East and look forward to another year of supporting their families and practitioners in helping adoptive families to flourish.
