What is the Solihull Approach Foster Carer Course Train the Trainer?

Solihull Approach Foster Carer Course Train the Trainer is all about supporting emotional health and wellbeing with a focus on relationships and nurturing connected, sensitive and responsive interactions.

The Solihull Approach was founded in practice and all of our training is evidence-based, developed by psychologists, child psychotherapists, and practitioners. It is a way of thinking and working with families, groups or one-to-one that transcends professions and communities.

The Solihull Approach is also about understanding brain development to understand behaviour, communication and emotional health.

What difference will it make?

Solihull Approach Foster Carer Course Train the Trainer is designed to equip practitioners who wish to cascade, as part of their work, the Foster Carer Course Facilitators’ training to other local practitioners, so that those practitioners can facilitate the 12-week foster carer course ‘Understanding your foster child’.

The Solihull Approach and our network of trained practitioners are passionate about early intervention and responsive relationships supporting mental health and wellbeing. The Solihull Approach has a significant evidence base both quantitative and qualitative showing the improvements in the parent-child relationship, child prosocial behaviour, behaviour difficulties, parental anxiety and stress, and practitioner satisfaction.
