The Erasmus+ FORM project's closing conference in Brussels brought together experts to discuss therapeutic foster care for unaccompanied minors. The event highlighted key findings, practical tools, and policy recommendations to better support these vulnerable children and their foster families.

The final conference of the Erasmus+ FORM project on therapeutic foster care for unaccompanied minors took place on Thursday, 28 November 2024, in Brussels. This important event focused on the growing trend of hosting unaccompanied child asylum seekers in small-scale foster families across Europe. Given the trauma these minors often face, the conference explored the essential role of therapeutic foster care, which provides specialized support for both the children and their foster families.

The FORM project developed a model of therapeutic foster care, alongside different materials aimed at improving care practices for unaccompanied minors. The conference highlighted key findings, offering practical tools and guidelines for foster care workers and policymakers.
