What are the benefits of being part of a Mockingbird constellation?
- Making memories
Being part of a Mockingbird constellation gives fostering families a ready network of peers to socialise, experience new activities and go on adventures with. - Role model and relationship building
By mimicking an extended family structure, the constellation gives looked after children additional healthy role models and the chance to get to know other looked after children. Young people also have the opportunity to build meaningful long-term relationships with other trusted adults. Friendships flourish between adults and children alike. - A listening ear
All foster carers in the constellation have the opportunity to support one another, share experiences and training and signpost each other to help and advice they've found useful.
