Group Theraplay® for Ukrainian refugee families in Birmingham with Project Salam

As part of Project Salam, we host Theraplay® Groups for refugee families in Birmingham. We cater to Ukrainian, Arabic, Pashto and Dari speaking families, helping parents and children make playful connections, enjoy shared play and feel part of a group.

The family and community benefits of our Project Salam Theraplay® Groups

We have received 100% positive feedback from all the children and parents who have taken part in Connect4Kids groups at Beacon Family Services!

Parents and carers report:

  • increases in their child’s social confidence
  • stronger bonds between themselves and their child
  • a sense of belonging at Connect4Kids
  • a sense of safety and acceptance, whatever is going on for themselves and their child
