My Time CIC – Family Trauma Centre Case Study that shows Process, Interven&ons, Distanced Travelled and Outcome
Who is Carer & Who is the Cared for?
There is a need to highlight the complex Carer/Cared for relaGonship and that there is a balance between giving care and needing care.
In many families the Children are the Carers of their parents.
Needing Care
Giving Care
Parents loosing contact with children In Family Breakdown, the reality is that the family unit has
one resident parent and one absent parent. In the UK, the absent parent in 92% of cases is the Father
and a variety of studies have shown that this Dad Loss has a deep affect on the child and father and effects other relaGonships.
