Support groups provide a much needed opportunity to talk about fostering issues with other carers. They are attended by carers who
have a wealth of experience, knowledge and expertise which they have accumulated through many years in fostering. The support group can offer
an opportunity to share experiences and provide invaluable support to each other. Some of the support groups will have designated speakers to share
information or address a training need.
