Training

Every year PAC offers a comprehensive training programme focussing on adoption and permanent placement specific topics. Some of these workshops and seminars are for professionals only, and some are specifically for parents and carers. Where the training events are for professionals and parents together this will be clearly marked as such.

PAC's Training Programme 2012/13

PAC's training programme covers a wide range of topics including attachment issues in children and adults, the effects of early separation and traumas, talking to children about adoption, therapeutic life story work, therapeutic parenting, therapeutic play, and contact with birth parents/relatives.

As a professional, PAC’s cutting edge training seminars and workshops allow you to stay at the forefront of adoption and permanent placement practice and to engage with others who are managing similar challenges in their work.

As an adoptive parent, special guardian, foster or kinship carer, PAC’s training provides down to earth support and useful strategies to help you parent your child. It also aims to help you understand your child’s behaviour more fully. In addition, the trainings provide a space to meet other adoptive parents and carers who are facing similar parenting issues to the ones you are encountering.
