My name is Rosemary Baragwanath. I am not a parent. I am a Social Worker in BristolUk. I have specialised in the last 10 years in adoption support. This is my passion. I was appalled by what I heard and experienced in adoptive families. The trauma of abused and neglected children wrought havoc into,what were once ,normally functioning individuals and families
Three years ago I had a crash course in NVR and asked a family I was working with whether we could 'have a go'. Everything else we had attempted had failed dismally and the child concerned and parents (and sibling) were on their knees. The violence and abuse perpetrated by this young girl was terrible. It's a very long story but 3 plus years later the family are intact and moving forward. Violence has reduced if not disappeared altogether. Since my crash course I have done the training and had many more NVR experiences. I intend passing on your details to the NVR group and although they are all adoptive parents, I am sure there is some common threads. Thank you Rosemary
