Teaka De's Company Details
PACT has been building and strengthening families across the Thames Valley since 1911.We support hundreds of families every year through outstanding adoption services, therapeutic support and community projects across London and the Thames Valley.We recruit, prepare and approve adoptive parents for some of the 3000 children in care who need adopting.When a child is adopted, they have usually experienced abuse or neglect. Traumatic experiences can cause them to have emotional and behavioural problems, sometimes many years later, which may affect their ability to accept their adoptive parents and their new life. The worse thing would be for the adoption to fail so PACT invests a lot of time and care into supporting these families through difficult times and working with the child for as long as it takes to help them come to terms with a painful past.PACT has a wealth of therapeutic services to offer – creative play, art therapy, counselling, psychotherapy, life story work and many more. These can be provided at home or in PACT's family therapy room which was opened in April 2013.Our other community projects include Alana House - a community project for women whose lifestyles put them at risk of offending - and Bounce Back 4 Kids - support for children who have witnessed or been victims of domestic abuse.
