This week COECT's CEO Sarah Naish talks from personal experience about the strain placed on a relationship when a couple adopts or fosters traumatized children. Parents can quickly experience isolation within the relationship itself. This is especially the case if one becomes the main carer and the other is not around enough to witness the difficulties that arise. About 1 in 3 relationships fail in such families unless help is sought. As Sarah says, raising traumatized children can test relationships to the limit but she presents three effective strategies to combat the problem. COECT also holds workshops and webinars to help couples put these strategies into practice.                                                                                                           *** COECT, The Centre of Excellence in Child Trauma is an umbrella organisation combining resources, research and knowledge from cutting edge experts in the sector – Inspire Training Group, National Association of Therapeutic Parents, Sarah Naish – Keynote Speaker and Author, The Haven – Parenting and Wellbeing Centre and Safer Fostering.  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CoEChildTrauma Telephone – 01453 519000  Email – [email protected]  Website - www.coect.co.uk
