Aurora Family

Here at Aurora progress is at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to find what works for individuals and use individual strengths to develop the whole person. Our network and connections mean that we are able to signpost our clients to services that may benefit them even if we do not offer it ourselves. Please ask if you cannot find what you are looking for. Supported Contact Services For young people growing up in our care system the time spent with family is often an infrequent and special occasion. On average a young person in long-term foster care is likely to have the opportunity to spend time with their parents and siblings four to six times per year. It is often hard for families to come to terms with the fact that they are not able to live together- it is vital that when they can spend time together it is supported, constructive and safe. We offer a choice of activity based environments for our supported contact sessions, our staff provide support and encouragement for young people and their families to engage in a range of activities, strengthening relationships and providing guidance where needed. This results in everyone getting a positive experience from the time spent together and the activity focus can help to detract from painful memories.
