Webinar - Understanding Loss and Trauma in Children - Wednesday 6th May 2026 at 10:00am

Understanding loss and trauma in children is important as it can significantly impact a child’s emotional well-being and brain development.

We will use this webinar to explore the complexities of loss faced by children who are adopted or fostered and how their early life influences how they view relationships, the world around them and their place within it.

During this webinar, you will have the opportunity to discover support strategies and activities to build resilience in a child, or children, through secure attachments.

Recommended for: All stages of adoption and fostering.

This webinar is free of charge for Adoption Matters families and Foster Care Matters families. It is also free for Regional Adoption Agency (RAA) families who are currently receiving support from the Centre for Fostering and Adoption Support.

If you’re not connected to Adoption Matters, Foster Care Matters or CFAS, then you can still attend our webinars but at a cost of just £5 per person.

We offer closed captioning on our webinars to provide a live transcript of what is being said – if you would like to have this activated, then please do contact us at the point of booking so that the facilitator is aware.
