Online support groups for adopters

About the sessions

We are running a series of online support groups for PACT adopters via Zoom. The groups will offer parents a chance to meet together virtually to talk through issues, ask questions and share knowledge and advice.

Each session will be about a different topic as listed below and will be facilitated by PACT’s adoption support team which includes therapeutic practitioners of the Strengthening Families Team, experienced Adopter Champions and the specialist PACT Education Lead.

Please note: these sessions are only available to approved PACT adopters with or without children placed, and those in Stage 2 of the adoption assessment process with PACT.
