Andrew’s story

The young person was very tearful with his mum who is moving away and I supported them to share their feelings about this - something this family are unable to do easily. I've worked with this family every week for a year - this continuity and structure has really helped to build a trusting relationship with the young person - He asked if I could or would foster him in front of her mum - she said he had a strong bond with me- This is such hard work and I get very little support - His social worker has only met with me once in the year I've been working with him.
