This Adoption UK conference presents a new and child-focused approach to re-parenting children who present an angry and aggressive response to those who care for them. Children who have had a traumatic start in life have many unmet needs which they cannot express.

The focus will be on Non Violent Resistance therapy which rebuilds the parent-child relationship through de-escalation, acceptance and reconciliation to allow thechild's needs to be met through the love and care of the adoptive parent or carer. The voice of theadoptive parent will also form part of the day.

Date: Friday 29 January 2016 - 9.30am to 4.45pm (registration from 8.45am)

Cost Details: Adoption UK members £60; Non-members £96
All prices include lunch, refreshments, delegate pack and VAT at 20%

Location: Belfast
