TREASURE Parenting Consultation Intervention​

​

Objectives 

​

To support Parents & Carers to help develop and stabilize their relationships, explore behavioural and emotional responses and understand the impact of past experiences (both the young person and themselves as Parent/Carers).

 

To enable Parents & Carers to strengthen their understanding of the emotional, social, physical/health and psychological needs of the children they are caring for.

 

To cultivate the ‘sparkle’ of their young people and build their confidence, assets, talents and resilience.

​

The Model​

​

Teamwork:  the recognition that everyone (social care practitioners, parents & carers, young people psychologists, school & therapists) need to work together in a joined up way to create good outcomes and safe practice

​

Regulation: the importance of being able to calm & soothe (down-regulate) or activate (up regulate) your young person to support their emotional and physical health

​

Emotional & Physical Wellbeing:  Looking after yourself in mind, body and spirit. Required to be able to offer high quality care to others

​

Attributes & resilience: developing your young person’s talents, assets, self-esteem and confidence. Celebrating their resilience. Helping them identify, express  & tolerate their needs and feelings.

​

Safety: establishing an enhanced level of safety for your young person. Acknowledging the part that fear plays within their emotions, behaviour and physical health.  Giving your young person a sense of safety,  routines and CALM parenting approach to discipline.

​

Understanding Trauma: developing an enhanced understanding in the role of trauma for your young person and for yourself.

​

Relationships: developing healthy, safe, connected and trusting relationships between yourself and your young person. Supporting healthy friendships. A developed ability to repair when things are difficult.

​

Empathy & Reflection: developing your ability to understand ‘why’ your young person may react or behave as they do.

​

The Treasure Keepers TREASURE © model facilitates psychological development of the young person through directing strategies with the Foster Carers/Parents, the wider system (such as the school or relevant other support persons) and through direct work with the young person and the family. All interventions suggested are to enable psychological, emotional, behavioural, and social well-being and development of the young person.
