Advocate/Trainer

Jason Hollingsworth

I'm Jason Hollingsworth, and I am the advocate and trainer for the Cape Girardeau branch of FosterAdopt Connect. As an advocate, I work with biological, foster, and adoptive families as they navigate the challenges that come with the child welfare system. As a trainer, I facilitate course work for obtaining and maintaining state licensing. And I will begin hosting support groups in hopes to provide a local community of foster parents to learn from and encourage one another. I live in Jackson with my wife, and our two children. We adopted our oldest child through fostering, and I understand the ups and downs of working toward the best outcome for the children involved. My experience ignited a passion for advocating for those affected by the child welfare system, and I look forward to using that to work with each of my families.
