Every child deserves to understand their story. This one-day training equips therapists and counsellors with the skills to help children integrate their life experiences, build a coherent sense of identity, and strengthen their relationships with their caregivers.

You’ll learn how to have honest, age-appropriate conversations about identity, family history, and loss – in ways that support healthy relationships rather than create shame. Combining evidence-based approaches with practical tools, this course prepares you to guide children through their stories with confidence, clarity, and care.

Ideal for: Therapists, counsellors, and psychotherapists working with adopted, fostered, or kinship children.
