Lasting change happens when the adults around a child feel just as supported as the child themselves.

Building Stronger Relationships

Through trauma-informed education, therapeutic support and practical coaching, Paper Trails helps foster and kinship carers better understand the children in their care and the experiences that may sit beneath their behaviour.

We work alongside carers to make sense of the different pieces of a child’s story, strengthen relationships and build confidence in responding in ways that promote safety, healing, growth and connection. Support is tailored to the needs of the child, carers and the referring organisation. It may include psychoeducation on trauma and attachment, therapeutic parenting strategies, support during transitions to permanent care, and collaboration with Child Protection, schools and other professionals.

Fee-for-service packages are tailored to the needs of the child, family and care team.

Therapeutic Support Pathways

Every child, family and care team is different. Our structured support pathways are tailored to individual needs and combine therapeutic intervention, trauma-informed education and collaboration to strengthen understanding, relationships and the support surrounding the child.

  • Our Foundation Pathway provides structured therapeutic support for children, families and carers over an eight-week period. Designed to build understanding, strengthen relationships and develop practical strategies, this pathway combines therapeutic intervention with trauma-informed guidance to create meaningful and lasting change.

    You might benefit from this pathway if you are looking for consistent therapeutic support to better understand a child's needs, strengthen relationships and build confidence in responding to behaviours in a way that promotes connection, safety and growth.

    Includes:

    • Initial 60-minute consultation

    • Review of existing reports and relevant information

    • Eight 60-minute therapeutic sessions

    • Liaison with schools or other professionals (where appropriate)

    • Email support throughout the intervention (within reasonable limits)

    • Brief recommendations summary

  • Our Collaborative Care Pathway is designed for children and families with more complex needs who would benefit from a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach. In addition to therapeutic intervention, this pathway provides greater collaboration with schools, carers and other professionals to ensure everyone supporting the child is working towards shared goals.

    You might benefit from this pathway if your child requires support across multiple environments, there are several professionals involved, or a collaborative approach is needed to promote consistency and positive outcomes.

    • Everything included in the Foundation Pathway

    • School observation

    • One multidisciplinary stakeholder meeting

    • Comprehensive recommendations report
