Preparing Children for Reintegration

Moving into family based care is a process, not an event. It’s a time of change and adjustment,  discovery and challenge. Planning and visitation must be part of any move to a new caregiver to minimize trauma  and to increase placement success by helping children feel confident about the change. 

LifeBook Work

Knowing one’s history is important to all human beings. Many children in care lack memories of  their past and are unable to make sense of who they are or how they ended up in care.  LifeBooks can help children understand their past, present, and future.
