Course overview of Support Attachment and Positive Relationships for Young People
In a healthy upbringing, children and young people will form positive attachments and relationships with those around them, including family members, friends, and peers met through school and other activities.
For those who, for whatever reason, enter the care system, it may be the case that such attachments and relationships have not naturally formed or developed and because of this they will need to be carefully nurtured by those who have a responsibility to parent and support them. This online course will look at the importance of supporting attachment and positive relationships.
