Therapy Service
The focus of the FCA Therapy Service is to make foster placements more successful and to help young people have positive relationships and experiences.
FCA employs qualified, accredited and experienced therapists and psychologists who work locally in multi-disciplinary teams.
Therapists can offer consultation, either individually or though groups, to foster carers and the wider support network. They also provide training on specialist subjects such as self harm.
Where timescales and conditions permit, an assessment of the young person’s needs, along with recommendations on how best to address them, will be initiated. This is known as a Team Parenting Assessment.
When an assessment indicates the need for individual therapy for a young person, and there is the necessary support for this, this may be provided either by an FCA therapist or through us with a commissioned specialist.
