Foster/Adoptive Parent Conference - What to Expect When You Are Not Expecting It
8:15 AM - 4:30 PM, 06/27/2023
We know that children want and need love, attention, stability and guidance. We need to listen to them and learn. We do not always know what to expect when we remove children and need to be ready to adjust as needed. Our keynote presenter, Dr. Jim Henry, will help guide us in learning about resiliency, trauma and to understanding the unknown. For more information, and to register, please email [email protected].
