Child-centred approaches to supporting children in out-of-home care

Co-produced with Child Family Community Australia (CFCA), this webinar outlines practical ways to prioritise the voices of children in OOHC that can support their mental health and wellbeing. It includes perspectives and advice specific to those working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

This webinar will help you:

• understand the effects of being in care on children’s participation, identity and self-worth
• understand the importance of culture and identity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in OOHC
• understand how conversations and activities that increase participation, identity and self-worth can boost children’s mental health and wellbeing
• develop strategies to effectively initiate and engage in conversations and activities that enhance children’s participation, identity and self-worth.

This webinar will interest practitioners who work with children in foster care, kinship care and residential care settings, and primary and allied health professionals who work in any service where they may encounter children who live in care.
