Description:

This Hybrid Support Group for foster, adoptive, guardianship and kinship providers will meet the first Tuesday of the Month at  the Chillicothe Branch Office (301 Cowgill St, Chillicothe, MO 64601) or via Zoom.  We will meet from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM (CTS) for training and from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM (CTS) for support.  

This training focuses on the essential role of self-care in maintaining the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of foster and adoptive parents. Participants learn how ongoing stress, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma can impact their ability to provide stable, nurturing care. The session provides strategies to recognize signs of burnout and prioritize personal wellness while managing the complex needs of children in their care.  Upon completion you will earn 2 credit hours.
