Adopter support groups
PACT runs events designed to meet the needs of adoptive parents. We listen to your feedback and do our best to create events in response to the most common challenges adopters are facing.
You can access further support and advice by getting in touch with our Adopter Champions or visiting the Children And Trauma Community Hub.
If you need the help of our therapeutically-trained social workers or you think your child may need therapy, take a look at our Strengthening Families Team and our Family and Children Therapeutic Support (FACTS) service.
We also run events for families, such as our annual Family Fun Days.
