Basic Trust: Providing Support and Help for Children in Natural Adoption and Foster Families

Basic Trust is a nationwide organization of independent mental health practitioners who specialize in the areas of basic trust, attachment, anxiety, and trauma in children living with natural adoption and foster families. Our team of experts provides support and assistance to parents, caregivers, and professionals throughout the Netherlands.

At Basic Trust, we understand that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment to grow up in. Unfortunately, many children who are adopted or placed into foster care have experienced trauma or neglect before coming into their new homes. This can lead to difficulties with attachment, anxiety disorders, behavioral problems, and other mental health issues.

Our mission at Basic Trust is to provide comprehensive support services that help these children overcome their challenges so they can thrive in their new families. We work closely with parents and caregivers to develop individualized treatment plans that address each child's unique needs.

Our team of mental health professionals includes psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, therapists who are all highly trained in evidence-based treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy techniques like sand tray therapy or art therapy for younger kids. We also offer family counseling sessions where we work together with parents/caregivers on improving communication skills between them & their child(ren).

We believe that building strong relationships based on trust is essential for helping children heal from past traumas. That's why our approach focuses on creating a safe space where kids feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or rejection.

In addition to our direct services for families & individuals seeking help from us directly; we also offer training programs for professionals working within the field of adoption/foster care/child welfare system across the country. These programs cover topics such as attachment theory & practice; trauma-informed care; cultural competence; ethics & boundaries etc., which helps them better understand how they can best serve this population.

At Basic Trust, we are committed to providing the highest quality care possible for children and families in need. We believe that every child deserves a chance to grow up happy, healthy, and loved. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues related to adoption or foster care, please don't hesitate to contact us today. We're here to help!
