Build on those relationships. Insure in every avenue your foster child has a sense of belonging a safety with those around them. Whenever a child or you adult has a feeling of self worth and security they go into the world as secure young adults ready to take on the world.
Last word for the social worker...
Where would you be if you were alone in this world?
PANIC Branches into Australia
continued on next page....
PANIC became aware of the ever growing number of families who have to deal with child services there or where parents, caregivers and children have cases between the two countries. Often this can mean for families they have the added complication of
understanding the differences when dealing with the
services.
Employment, genetic family placements or genetic family
connections mean that families are often scattered between our two countries and when this involves children it adds to the stress families and caregivers must deal with.
PANICs commitment is to give as many families as we can the much needed support and advice. Families can find added issues such as costs for access, poor access management. Broken communication or no contact at all. In some cases the rights of families have been openly abused as one or both parents (or other) have been cut off.
