Preparing Children for Reintegration
Moving into family based care is a process, not an event. It's a time of change and adjustment, discovery and challenge. Planning and visitation must be part of any move to a new caregiver to minimize trauma and to increase placement success by helping children feel confident about the change.
Knowing one’s history is important to all human beings. Many children in care lack memories of their past and are unable to make sense of who they are or how they ended up in care. LifeBooks can help children understand their past, present, and future.
