Conversation with Professor Helen Minnis , Andrew Mouse and Fiona Lettice around developing themes emerging as the RIGHT Trial progresses. We now have 100 families taking part in the Trial ,and have sites in England, Scotland and Wales.
We are looking at the following :
- Can we recommend better ways for social care and health services to work together to help adoptive and foster families?
- Can a therapy called DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) improve the mental health of 5-12 year old fostered or adopted children?
- Is DDP worth the commitment families need to give to it - and the extra cost to the services that deliver it?
- Why is this important?
- The RIGHT Trial is looking to determine the effectiveness of DDP versus other appropriate treatment offered to children experiencing difficulties related to early years trauma and how care pathways can be improved.
