New book providing advice for kinship carers

[David Roth]

I have just received details of a new book giving advice to family and friends carers. It has been written by some academics and play therapists from Brighton, in conjunction with some family and friends carers there, and it 'provides examples of how the Resilience Framework has helped members of the Kinship Carers Research group cope better in supporting the children in their care by providing strategies, support and encouragement.'

Some of it may seem like the common sense things you do anyway, but you might also find some useful guidelines for managing some aspect of raising your kin-child that you have been having difficulty with.

You can access the book by following this link, and if you scroll to the bottom of the page you will find a link that allows you to download the whole book for free: http://www.boingboing.org.uk/index.php/ ... s-resource
