Seeing a birth parent on a visit may conjure up a vast array of emotions (from anger to joy) and questions (why did this happen to me?) from children in care. Children may need help in making sense of their feelings and answers as to why they cannot return with their parents. This workshop explores the positive and negative effects that visits may have on children in care and how foster parents can help prepare children for visits and help them process the visit afterwards using empathetic communication techniques and active listening skills.
