SUMMARY:Life Story Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Adoption West is holding a Life Story Online Workshop on Friday 15th March 10 am -12 pm hosted by Suzie Harley.\nThis workshop is designed to support adoptive parents to feel more confident in talking to their child/ren about their life story and why they are adopted. It will also provide a forum for parents to talk about their concerns and challenges. At the workshop\, tools and resources will be shared that may be helpful to try at home\, alongside routes to seek advice and support in the future. \nSuzie qualified with a master’s in social work from Bristol University in 2004 and has worked as an adoption social worker for approx. 20 years. Initially for Bristol City Council and since 2019 for Adoption West. Following her interest in therapeutic work she undertook a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Life Story Work in 2020/21 qualifying to practice the Richard Rose model with children and their carers\, and is a member of the TLSWi and an accredited provider for the Adoption Support Fund. \nN.B.

SUMMARY:Coffee and Chat for LGBTQ+ Week
DESCRIPTION:This is a great opportunity for those that might be thinking about adopting a child or children\, to come along and have their questions answered by those that have done it. This event has been organised as part of the LGBTQ+ Adoption and Fostering celebrations that we take part in annually. \nWe welcome anyone considering adoption – it’s that simple. But\, we appreciate that those from the LGBTQ+ communities may have some specific questions and concerns that relate to their sexual orientation or gender identity\, and how others (including children\, birth families\, and professionals) may process this. \nWe want to assure you\, that there is very little that hasn’t been asked before\, and if we don’t have the answer yet\, we will do our best to work with you and find it. \nThe event is open to anyone interested in adoption\, at any point in their journey. \nView on Eventbrite and book your space
