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
CATCH provides eLearning, webinars, interviews and case studies exploring key issues for parents, carers and professionals supporting children who have experienced trauma. CATCH is easily accessible and used by our members for additional learning during adopter and foster carer training, support for parenting challenges to evidence of Continuing Professional Development.
