Post adoption support to create a more harmonious and enjoyable family life
We adopt to bring more joy and fulfilment into our lives but in reality the parental stress of having an adopted or fostered child can be immense. You are likely to be here because you are suffering from hugely stressful, challenging behaviour from your child(ren) and are desperate to get life back onto an even keel. "Having taught stress management in industry for 20 years, it was adopting in 2011 that taught me what stress really is!" Gill Tree Founder
Adoption Academy offers mentoring and e-learning, taught by Adopters and Foster Carers who are also professionally trained in their field of expertise. We know that as incredibly busy people you wont necessarily have time to go to live courses. Whether you are new to adoption/fostering or a battle weary parent, our courses will help you.
Our unique e-courses and therapies created specifically for adopters and foster carers such as our 20 hour “Building Resilience to Stress Less” and "Building Attachments through Touch" will help you regain control and create more harmony in your home. Adopters need stress management training as part of their post adoption support. Sign up today for our free trial.
"I just wanted to thank you for the very informative and enjoyable course. I loved your practical and playful approach and your warm sense of humour. It was so reassuring and comforting to know that you could understand and relate to our personal challenges. Time really flew by and I came away with lots of practical and sensible advice that I was eager to share with my husband. I couldn't stop smiling on my way home!
The following evening when my son was getting a bit wound up and unreasonable, my hubby put into practice your "Tarzan" tip and, much to our amusement, it worked!! Our son was so surprised at his dad's sudden response that we all burst out laughing. Thank you for a life-changing day!!" Valeria Ventura
Testimonials about our anatomy and physiology course
"I found it very interesting and useful to reflect on how I respond to stress and what little changes could help with that. It has made me think that rather than focusing on what stresses my children, I also need to be aware of my own triggers. In recognising how hard it can be to inhibit my own behaviour, I feel/hope I might be more empathetic to my son."

Child to Parent Violence and Abuse is more common than you think
It is a very bitter pill to swallow to realise and accept that your child’s behaviour is a form of abuse. It has been estimated that the incidence could be as high as one in ten families. Does that help you feel a little less isolated and a little less like you are failing as a parent?
