As National Adoption Week comes to a close, weโ€™re reflecting on what makes adoption so powerful the love, resilience, and healing that happen when families grow through understanding.

Thereโ€™s so much to celebrateโ€ฆ but also more work to do. Support systems like the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF) are vital, and right now, they need attention and investment.

To round off the week, our brand new TRIBE Talk Podcast episode drops tomorrow morning exploring Trauma-Informed Care and Adoption. Tune in to hear about trauma informed care, science, and hope for the future of adoption. ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ’›

It's national adoption week so lets talk about Trauma Informed Adoption support.

Adoption support is the ongoing help available to adoptive families after a child joins their home. It recognises that adoption is not the end of the journey and children and their families may need ongoing support.

True Trauma Informed adoption support considers the individual child's trauma history and the support their adoptive family needs to provide the best options possible for the individual child.

The TRIBE team provides adoption support through our specialist services. We work with several adoption collaboratives and are the Specialist therapeutic provider for one region in Wales . Adoptive families can access assessments, training, therapy, in-home support, free monthly workshops on trauma informed care topics and can access the TRIBE team of specialists.

We love creating individualised support programmes for adoptive families.

Unfortunately this type of support isn't accessible to all adoptive families, particularly those in England. Check out our next post to find out why!

A huge shout-out to the wonderful staff at one of the Children's Residential homes who implement the TRIBE model of Trauma Informed Care. They received their TRIBE Box and plaque as recognition of their hard work and commitment.
Every day, they show what it means to be trauma-informed - creating spaces of belonging, safety, and growth for children in their care.
We are so grateful for their continued commitment to making TRIBE a reality in daily practice.

Every child is different and so is the kind of therapy that helps them recover. Over time, weโ€™ve seen certain approaches make a real difference for adopted children and their families.

For children aged 10 and under, we often recommend:
๐Ÿงธ Play Therapy
๐Ÿ’› Developing Emotional Understanding
๐Ÿค Attachment-Based Therapies
๐Ÿ“– Life Story Work

For children aged 11 and over, therapy may still include early developmental approaches or begin to incorporate more reflective, psychological ones:
๐Ÿ’ฌ Developing Emotional Understanding
๐Ÿ“˜ Therapeutic Life Story Work
๐Ÿง  Behavioural Therapy combining ACT and CBT principles

โœจ Remember: thereโ€™s no one-size-fits-all therapy. Many children need a blend of approaches, layered to meet their unique story and stage of healing. ๐Ÿ’›

Adoption support is usually accessed through regional adoption agencies, and whatโ€™s available can vary across the country.

In Cwm Taf Morgannwg, South Wales, we provide adoption support through two regional agencies โ€” offering a wide range of trauma-informed services designed to help families heal and thrive.

Adoptive families can access:
โœจ Trauma-Informed Care training
๐Ÿ  In-home consultation support with experienced consultants
๐Ÿ’› Over 20 different therapies for children
๐Ÿ“š Free monthly workshops on trauma-informed topics
๐Ÿ“– Life Story Work support

From our experience, the best outcomes happen when support is threefold โ€” training for parents, therapy for children, and hands on consultation support.๐Ÿ’›

Thereโ€™s a belief that love can heal everything, but for many adopted children, love alone isnโ€™t enough.
Adopted children often carry experiences of deep loss, identity disruption, and early trauma. Fractured attachments and unsafe environments shape how they see the world and how they respond to care.

Thatโ€™s why trauma-informed care is vital. It helps parents and professionals understand a childโ€™s unique story and respond in ways that build safety, trust, and connection. When we approach adoption through a trauma-informed lens, we donโ€™t just help children survive their past we help them rewrite their future. ๐Ÿ’›

Every Monday, our team comes together to review the previous week and plan ahead for the week to come.

This week, our development time focused on goal setting for the end of the year and weโ€™re excited for whatโ€™s next!

Big things are coming: enhancements to the TRIBE programme, new residential masterclasses, and free trainings and workshops for carers and professionals.

Team growth = better support for the children and families we work with every day. ๐Ÿ’›
