Building Your Family Toolkit Series
March 30 @ 6:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Foster parents, adoptive parents, and kinship caregivers do incredibly important work—and it can also be emotionally demanding. The ‘Building Your Family Toolkit Series’ is a monthly gathering created to support foster parents, kinship caregivers, and caregiving families with practical tools, encouragement, and connection.
Each session focuses on a different topic—such as emotional resilience, identity and storytelling; behavior support, mental health, and navigating systems—using trauma-informed, family-centered approaches. Expect hands-on activities, meaningful conversation, and a supportive space where foster parents and caregivers can learn, reflect, and connect with one another.
