Reach: The CELCIS Magazine – the Centre for Excellence for Looked After Children in Scotland [Autumn 2015]

We are delighted to share with you this issue of Reach. We focus on the theme of 'emotional wellbeing', a topic that is often a difficult balancing act for those of you who work with looked after children and young people. How do we keep young people safe, but also nurture them in a stable, loving home? And how do you maintain your own emotional health in the midst of such demanding work? We look at case studies of particular children and their traumatic journeys, explore good practice across Scotland and what has been done to support and engage those people who have direct contact and really can make that difference. In all case studies published here, we have anonymised the details of the young people, and any pictures used are by models.
