This webinar touches on the importance of prioritising your own wellbeing. Caring for children and young people with complex needs is rewarding but it can also be challenging. As carers, it's easy to put everyone else's needs before your own.

Watch the webinar

Access the full recording below to hear directly from Deb Collard (FCAV), Susan (experienced foster carer) and Andrea Tresize (Key Assets) about prioritising your wellbeing while continuing to provide the best care for children and young people.

What You'll Learn:

Whether you're new to fostering or have years of experience, this webinar is an opportunity to connect with others who understand the unique challenges of caring, gain encouragement, and explore how strong support networks and self-care can help you continue making a lasting difference in the lives of children and young people. You'll hear practical strategies, lived experience, and ideas for building resilience, strengthening your support network, and sustaining yourself in your caring journey.
