Event description
South Gloucestershire Health Visitors, Fai Pope and Wendy Hollister, will be guests at this weeks session. They will be there really just to say hi and answer any questions you may have for them. They may also give you a little explanation as to what their new 'Health Visitor Programme 'MECSH'' is all about too.
However this support group will not be a training session as that is planned for Monday 17th January 2022.
Search "MECSH - Introduction to a new Health Visitor Programme - Training for foster carers" if you would like to reserve your place on that.
The Purpose for the support groups
We realise that fostering can be really difficult at times. Perhaps the only people who really understand it are other foster carers and so therefore we want to give you a place to meet up.
There will be biscuits and/or cake, coffee, tea, and an opportunity for an informal chat at all of the meetings.
Although these will be informal meetings, each session will have a brief agenda, attendance list, and agreed group rules. This is to help those who don’t know anyone and feel awkward about coming along to a new meeting, to feel that they won’t be left alone on the side-lines.
Sometimes there will be speakers and topics as requested by the group, this will hopefully make it as relevant to your fostering as you like.
These sessions should be recorded on your Personal Development Plan (PDP).
