Description:

This virtual group will provide support to Foster/adopt families who just want to connect with other foster/adopt families for community and understanding. It is so important for foster/adopt families to connect, support, and mentor each other. This group provides a safe place to do so.  

This training offers a comprehensive discussion of guilt and shame in adoption. It will explore how these emotions may develop in children and families, how they impact behavior, relationships, and self-perception.  Strategies for fostering understanding, healing, and healthy emotional growth will be shared. 

We will meet from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM for training and from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM for support group.   Upon completion 2 hours of training credit will be received.
