CATCH for practitioners


CATCH offers a wealth of information and resources relevant to social workers, therapists and counsellors who support adopters, foster carers and their families, or any child who has experienced trauma. We cover key topics including attachment, child development, additional needs, education, behaviour, contact and much more.

 

“You are awesome! As a practitioner I feel supported by your resources and that I can always offer adopters additional insight into particular topics through your site. It helps me to empower adopters to learn for themselves so they don’t become reliant on me to find solutions. What would we do without you?” – Practitioner

Podcasts and audio


We know how time pressed practitioners are, so we’ve recently launched podcasts and audio interviews to give you more flexibility to listen to our resources around your busy lives. These cover topics such as education, becoming a special guardian, adoption and fostering.
