Building Your Family Toolkit Series
2026-03-30 18:30 - 19:00 | CMFCAA HQ, 1704 Christy Ct, Jefferson City, 65101
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.

📅 Last Monday of every month, starting on March 30
🕕 6–7:30 p.m.
📍 Jefferson City Regional Training Center

Whether you’re new to fostering or have years of experience, you don’t have to do this alone. You belong here.

Our first session will be on March 30th from 6-7:30 p.m. at our Jefferson City Location. We will discuss: Building Emotional Resilience & Self-Care Skills –“You Can’t Pour from an Empty Cup: Trauma Stewardship for Foster Families”

Please inquire with Stacey Austin at StaceyAustin@cmfcaa.com for registration or for more info!
