We Are Family: Fostering Siblings
Barnardo's NI
On the 10th April we celebrate National Siblings Day but not all siblings get to stay together when they are in care. There are often practical reasons for this as it can be challenging to find foster carers who can take more than one child at a time - but being separated from brothers and sisters can be another layer of loss and destabilisation for children.
In this online session, we will be discussing what it’s like to foster siblings, we'll explore the importance of understanding sibling dynamics and why keeping family groups together, where it's appropriate, can be a key part in healing, growth and a sense of safety and identity.
If you'd like to know more about fostering siblings or fostering to adopt with Barnardo's, join us for this informal conversation.
