Description:

Welcome to Southwest Missouri Foster Parent Support Group. This group is for foster, adoptive, kinship, and guardianship families. Parenting can be very difficult. Children that have experienced trauma may need additional parenting techniques. Being able to share our experiences with other families that truly understand what we are going through can be very helpful. We want you to know that you are not alone. 

Conscious Discipline is an evidence-based approach that helps parents learn how to regulate and manage their child's emotions while teaching them how to make better choices.

We will meet from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM for training and from 10:00 PM to 11:00 AM for support.   Upon completion 2 hours of training credit will be received.
