At The For Baby’s Sake Trust, we are committed to breaking the cycles of trauma and domestic abuse that affect generations. Today, on #CareDay 2025, we are proud to announce the launch of our For My Future pilot programme, a trauma-informed therapeutic approach to support #CareExperienced young people to develop healthy relationships for life. A driving force for this work is the significant lack of support for emotional health and wellbeing for #YoungPeople leaving care. It is preventative, not reactive—an opportunity to address trauma and empower young people with the knowledge and skills to foster healthy #Relationships. Our flagship programme, For Baby’s Sake, has demonstrated remarkable success in empowering parents to address domestic abuse and give their babies the best start in life. Through this work, we’ve seen the transformative power of therapeutic relationships to address trauma and break cycles of abuse. For My Future builds on our experience working with many care-experienced young parents—to extend our support to a wider cohort of care-experienced young people—empowering them to build healthy relationships and navigate adulthood with confidence.

My Care Experienced Advisory Board have created a hierarchy of needs for care experienced young people as a visual guide to help professionals working with them understand their needs and support them. Take a look 👇 #CareDay #CEP childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/resource/hiera…

We support #CareDay and created BWASO to show everyone in care that there are people who care about your future. There are no barriers to success. Whatever you dream, you can achieve. You are capable, you matter, and you will shine. @PaoloHewitt1 @PaulAndersonWa2 @Become1992

⚠️ 18+ miles is the distance a child in care is moved, on average, from the people and places they know. 🚨 It doesn’t have to be this way. ⬇️ Join our campaign #GoneTooFar to keep children close to people & places that matter to them. BecomeCharity.org.uk/Gone-Too-Far

Good to be at @ThisIsUniteFdn and @SMFthinktank roundtable today with Minister @JanetDaby to discuss how we can better support care experienced students to succeed in higher education & rec's in this latest report 👇 smf.co.uk/publications/b…

Councils are treating teenagers like homeless adults and placing them in unsuitable temporary housing rather than taking them into care. Local authorities are “waiting out the clock” until vulnerable 16- and 17-year-olds can be classed as adults. theguardian.com/society/2024/d…

We are looking for new trustees! Come and join the board of a fantastic organisation looking to amplify the voices of the Care Experienced community
