"Ordinary People, Extraordinary Hearts" is an on-demand training program designed to support foster carers in creating safe, nurturing, and healing environments for children and young people in their care. This course is built around the idea that ordinary people with extraordinary hearts can make an incredible difference in the lives of children who have experienced trauma and adversity.
 
Throughout the course, you'll gain insights from leading professionals and hear real-life stories from foster carers who have opened their hearts and homes to children in need. These stories bring to life the practical strategies and knowledge that will guide you on your journey as a foster carer.
