support Groups
​Children who've been in foster care or have been adopted often come from hard places. The blueprints of their brains are different from a child who has been nurtured in a healthy and loving environment. Out of this blueprint most life experiences are filtered through fear not love. When a child is processing everything from a state of fear, negative behaviors and attachment problems surface. To combat this it takes a different style of parenting and a strategy of recognizing the fear that is driving the behavior.
​​
When parents caring for these children begin to experience challenges, many times they isolate themselves. We know that isn't healthy. We understand the families need community. Bringing these families together builds friendships and support that is so necessary to push through these circumstances and know you are not alone.
​
Our support group gathers regularly at various times during the year for either six or eight week sessions. We do offer training during these sessions so training credit is available for licensed foster families. We also offer childcare and have meals available at these gatherings.
