Abstract

Objective: In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown restrictions, service providers faced significant challenges in delivering programmes to support their vulnerable service users. Foster carers-an already often isolated group of caregivers - were offered an adapted remote-delivery model of the Reflective Fostering Programme (Redfern et al., Adopt. Foster., 42, 2018, 234) from March 2020.

Method: This paper outlines the adaptation process of the original programme to online-remote delivery and describes the feedback from participants in the programme.

Results: The adaptation of the Reflective Fostering programme to online, remote delivery had both strengths and weaknesses - including wider access to foster carers who might struggle to attend in person and challenge a to maintaining a Mentalizing space online and ensuring confidentiality within a therapeutic space. The programme was overwhelmingly well received by foster carers in this format.

Conclusions: There are opportunities and challenges in the delivery of online therapeutic services, particularly those with a group format. This paper contributes initial reflections to what we hope will be a rapidly developing literature on best practice of supporting group services in an online format.

反思性养育计划-为应对英国新冠肺炎疫情，将集体养育计划调整为在线分娩。

目标：在新冠肺炎大流行和随后的封锁限制的背景下，服务提供商在提供支持弱势服务用户的计划方面面临重大挑战。从2020年3月起，寄养照料者——一个已经经常被孤立的照料者群体——被提供了一个经过调整的反思性寄养计划的远程交付模式（Redfern et al.，Adopt.Fester.，422018234）。方法：本文概述了原始计划对在线远程交付的适应过程，并描述了该计划参与者的反馈。结果：将反思性寄养计划调整为在线远程交付既有优点也有缺点，包括更广泛地接触可能难以亲自参加的寄养照顾者，并挑战保持在线心理空间和确保治疗空间内的保密性。该方案在这种形式的寄养照顾者中获得了压倒性的好评。结论：在提供在线治疗服务方面存在机遇和挑战，特别是那些采用团体形式的服务。本文对我们希望迅速发展的以在线形式支持团体服务的最佳实践文献进行了初步思考。
