Dealing with Relationship Strain for Parents of Traumatized Children

The Therapeutic Parenting Podcast

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.
