Therapeutic Stories for Foster, Adoptive and Kinship Families by Joan E Moore

Therapeutic Stories for Foster, Adoptive and Kinship Families by Joan E Moore

This accessible resource contains therapeutic stories and guidance for adults who are supporting young people aged 10-14 in foster, adoptive or kinship families. With a solution-focused approach, the stories are designed to address a range of social and emotional problems, covering topics such as bullying, trauma and racism.

This book contains a treasure trove of creative ideas and suggestions based on Joan’s extensive experience and knowledge of working firstly as a social worker for many years and then as a dramatherapist and play therapist, supporting adoptive, foster and kinship parents, and placing creative play, drama and storytelling at the centre of her work with children
