Our cared for children with complex health needs frequently have hospital visits or medical interventions. As part of our desire to better understand the support needs of our carers who care for children with  disabilities, this session has been requested.

This session explores how hospitalisation itself can contribute to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), such as the emotional impact of separation from parents, medical trauma, or prolonged stress. Foster carers and key workers will learn more about how these experiences can shape a child’s long-term emotional well-being and behaviour, particularly when hospital stays disrupt attachment and stability.
