Online By Your Side Transition Training for practitioners in October 2022 is now available.
By Your Side is an attachment and trauma-informed model for supporting children and the adults who care for them across the transition from foster care to adoption. It is based primarily on Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and TheraplayⓇ.
The three session training will be facilitated by Dr Vivien Norris and Emma Decker-Thomas, running from 4 to 6 October, 1:30pm to 4:30pm each day, and tickets cost £235.
The training starts with an overview which illustrates the whole model with an online example and continues with two sessions which explore the model in more depth. Over the past three years the model has been adapted so that it can be used both face to face and online and this has opened up interesting possibilities for long distance transitions. The model is now being used to facilitate birth family reunification as well as fostering to adoption and short to long term foster care transitions.
Practitioners who attend will ideally have completed DDP Level One and Level 1 TheraplayⓇ.
