The Need For Space, Validation, Value, Recovery & Sur-thrival
Removed children carry wounds we can’t always fix — but must never ignore. Trauma needs more than survival! Love alone isn’t enough. Parents/ carers are too often left to carry the weight without the support they need, & then face blame as the default, instead of real planning for the impact of harm.
When healing isn’t planned for, crisis isn’t a surprise — it’s the consequence. Punitive systems don’t just fail families — they deepen trauma, drive disconnection, & risk long-term breakdown.
Join us for a grounded, reflective conference, the real costs & real potential — of permanence.
Children’s journeys deserve to be heard, honoured, & held with care not just filed.
More information will be sent out close to the event date in relation to parking, facilities and agenda. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. If you have any specific needs please email patch@ourpatch.org.uk.
