Isabelle is a 14-year-old young person with long beautiful dark hair, a good sense of humour who requires a foster placement in the west of the country

Isabelle requires support with emotional development, a sense of safety in relationships, in forming secure and trusting bonds with adults and would benefit most from stable, emotionally available adults who can provide calm reassurance and structured care that has strict boundaries.

Despite some challenges, Isabelle has many positive qualities. She is generous, warm, and kind. She is a talented singer who takes great pride in her love for old Irish country music, which gives her a sense of identity and comfort. She enjoys being outside on occasions and attending heritage days at festivals and other community days out.

Isabelle requires a placement where she can be given the attention and time that she needs as well as the security and love to process the traumatic events and broken relationships in her life to date and move forward in her life in a positive way. Isabelle would require emotional support in encouraging her transition home to live with her family at some point in the future.

It would be of additional benefit if the potential placement is with a smaller family and carers who have time to give her individual attention.
