Real-World Impact and Testimonial

The Foundation Therapeutic Practitioner Award provides participants with the tools to create positive change in the lives of children and young people who have faced adversity. By mastering therapeutic techniques, carers can foster a nurturing environment that supports healing, resilience, and growth. This course empowers professionals to build trusting relationships, promote emotional well-being, and implement strategies that have a lasting impact.

Natasha was real and made me feel that she has/was experiencing all that we as a group were and therefore, she had real understanding of the issues we face as foster carers. I have and continue to use the techniques and strategies she has thought in the class and whenever I needed to seek her advice outside of the classroom. I will continue to practice all I have learned to deliver the best quality care and support possible to the children and young people I have in my care.
