Global Gathering for the Future of Child
About the event
Imagine foster care that improves the outcomes and the experience for the child because their placement is created and sustained through a close partnership between the carers, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. This approach also increases the likelihood of successful and safe reunification. Is this a fantasy? Actually, it is not only possible it is already happening.
Join Professor Andrew Turnell and Swedish Social Worker and Foster Carer Anna Strömberg in a three-hour skill building, online workshop to hear examples of Belonging-focused Foster Care and learn about the professional processes and practices that support this approach.
This participatory workshop is part of the three-day online Global Gathering for the Future of Child Welfare, October 6 to 8, 2026.
