Facilitating Peer Support Between Foster Carers In The Uk, Samantha Mcdermid
Facilitating Peer Support Between Foster Carers In The Uk, Samantha Mcdermid
Rudd Adoption Research Program Annual Conferences
Peer support between foster carers has been found to facilitate emotional and practical support for foster carers, information sharing and opportunities to reflect on and improve practice, along with reducing foster carers stress, reducing disruptions in placements, and improvements to the retention of foster carers. This presentation will bring together the findings of three research studies to explore three innovative approaches to facilitate peer support between foster carers and the impact that those approaches have carers and the children and young people they care for. The issues associated with implementing such models within fostering services in the UK and recommendations …
Part Of The Family: Achieving Permanence In Long-Term Family Foster Care, Mary Beek, Joyce Maguire Pavao
Part Of The Family: Achieving Permanence In Long-Term Family Foster Care, Mary Beek, Joyce Maguire Pavao
Rudd Adoption Research Program Annual Conferences
This presentation will explore research on long-term foster care as a permanence option. It will focus on two contentious practice issues. First there is the extent to which long-term foster children become fully part of the family as intended in the concept of permanence. Secondly there is the question of the role that foster carers in long-term placements need to play as both skilled professionals and committed parents. This presentation will bring together key research findings with reflections on policy, practice and the support needs of long-term foster care placements.

Rudd Adoption Research Program Annual Conferences
This session will address some of the unexpected challenges and surprises encountered by heterosexual, lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals and couples who adopt through the child welfare system. Data will be presented regarding (a) the challenges that foster-to-adopt parents encounter post-placement, including: legal insecurity in their parental role, disorganization within social service systems, inadequate support services, and complex relationships with birth parents; (b) unmet expectations that foster-to-adopt parents often encounter with regard to the types of children that are placed in their home (e.g., in terms of age, race, gender, and special needs); and (c) the experiences of parents that …

Getting Practice Right: Using The Strengths And Limits Of Research Findings To "Bridge The Gap" Between Practice And Research, Elsbeth Neil, Sally Popper, Karen Zilberstein
Rudd Adoption Research Program Annual Conferences
This session explores how gaps between research and practice can be bridged. In the first part of the session, Karen Zilberstein and Sally Popper will identify areas in which research has provided useful guides for practice and areas in which research and standardized interventions do not yet completely address the experiences and needs of individual children and families. The second contribution will be from Beth Neil who will outline the “Contact after Adoption Change Project” from the UK. This project brings together an adoption researcher with experienced adoption professionals with the aim of coproducing online resources to help make research-informed, …

The main focus of the session will be on current issues and tensions associated with finding families for children in a timely way. Topics to be discussed will include …

The vision of the Wily Network is to improve college graduations outcomes for youth with foster care experience at four-year residential colleges.

Using examples from our work we will outline the critical need for developing robust programs to enhance each scholar’s college experience and help them to develop a life long network of peers and supports. Finally, we will highlight the importance of creating performance metrics in order to continually evaluate the networks efficacy.

Dan Hughes' Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy For Children With Trauma And Attachment Histories: An Introduction For Caretakers And Therapists, Robert Spottswood
Rudd Adoption Research Program Annual Conferences
Children who learned from early experience to not trust adults for help or care can present troubling emotional challenges to loving caretakers. This presentation will explain the experiential logic behind that mistrust, as well as Dan Hughes’ relationship-focused approach to re-engaging such children. Attendees will hear the theory behind Hughes’ model, practice an attitude of PACE (Playful, Accepting, Curious and Empathic), and view short clips of a variety of DDP therapy sessions (subtitled).

Mapping Needs, Costs And Outcomes: The English Adoption Journey, Lisa Holmes, Samantha Mcdermid, John Simmonds
Rudd Adoption Research Program Annual Conferences
This presentation will outline the adoption pathways in England and will highlight how a systematic approach to analyzing and costing pathways can, and has, informed strategic planning. Furthermore the presentation will highlight the importance of costing child welfare services using the child as the unit of analysis, rather than focusing purely on fiscal data. Examples will be provided of how this approach facilitates an exploration of children’s needs and circumstances, how they impact on children’s pathways through the child welfare system and the outcomes that are achieved.
