Post-Adoption Support

​

Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Care for Adoptive Families

At Happy Senses, we know that adoption is a journey filled with deep love, unique challenges, and the need for ongoing support. Our post-adoption services are grounded in trauma-informed, sensory-aware care—tailored to the needs of children who have experienced early adversity, loss, or disrupted attachment.
 

What We Offer:

• A fully trauma-informed approach across all our services

• Holistic support for the whole system around the child – including parents, caregivers, schools, and extended networks

• A strong, collaborative partnership with Adoption Central England (ACE), through which families can access our attachment- and trauma-informed sensory integration therapy using the ASGSF fair access fund. (Speak to your social worker or contact us for more details.)
