The Therapeutic Intervention Service is an overarching support service that provides an array of support to our Adopters, Foster Carers and young people.
The team consists of one team leader, and three Social Worker Assistant who are all highly experienced and trained to meet the varying support needs of our families.
We understand that life brings about challenges and difficulties for all families and it’s important that our families don’t have to face these times in isolation. We work in partnership to look at how we can work through the more challenging and difficult times together, working closely with external agencies to help guide and advise Adopters and Foster Carers on other areas of support that would be beneficial to them and their young people.
Our Support
We provide a tailored support service as we recognise that each family and each person within that family are unique. We are a therapeutic service and we ensure that our support is enriched with the key concepts of Dan Hughes P.A.C.E, Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy.
Our families are important to us and it is vital that we, as a service, provide ongoing support to those within the Caritas Care family.
(*any support provided to a young person would need to be agreed by the Local Authority due to them having Parental Responsibility)

Finance
Financial support is available to our foster carers who get paid an allowance when they have a child in their care.
Time to Foster?
Time is always in short supply and high demand. Finding a balance between what we want to do and what we have to do is a constant challenge…

Impact On Family
We understand that fostering impacts and all members of your household, that’s why there’s always someone to help, someone to talk to.
