Learning from Research: The Reflective Fostering Study – building reflective capacity improves the well-being of foster and kinship carers.
Foster and Kinship carers need the right support to be able to provide the best care for the children they look after. The Reflective Fostering Study evaluated an intervention designed to increase carers’ reflective capacity. The Reflective Fostering Programme is a group intervention for carers looking after children aged between 4 and 12 years. It increases carers’ ability to mentalise about the feelings and thoughts of themselves and the child leading to lower levels of stress and burnout and a better relationship with the child.
