Foster With Us
Providing therapeutic fostering opportunities across England and Wales
Children who have experienced trauma need more than a place to stay—they need understanding, consistency and care that supports their emotional wellbeing.
At COECT, we work with partner organisations that specialise in therapeutic fostering, supporting foster parents to provide stable, nurturing homes for children with complex needs.
If you are considering fostering, and want to make a deeper, long-term difference, we can help you take the next step.
What is Therapeutic Fostering?
Therapeutic fostering focuses on understanding a child’s experiences and supporting their emotional development through informed, consistent care.
As a therapeutic foster parent, you will:
-
Build strong, trusting relationships
-
Support children to manage emotions and behaviour
-
Work as part of a wider professional team
-
Receive ongoing training and specialist support
You do not need to have a clinical background, but you should be open to learning, reflective in your approach, and committed to providing patient, compassionate care.
