Online Support Group
Support Network Groups are designed to assist resource parents with in-service training, community resource information, peer support, and communication with DHS. Attending on a regular basis is not only a great way to get the emotional and practical support you need to succeed, it's a great way to stay on top of the training requirements you need to fulfill.
Effects of Trauma on Brain Development
April 23, 2026
Virtual Event
Facilitators: Jarrod Moore and Dialma Hildreth
Join us for an online support group focused on the effects of trauma on brain development. This session will explore how early adverse experiences can shape a child’s developing brain, influencing behavior, emotional regulation, learning, and relationships. Caregivers will learn practical, trauma-informed insights that foster empathy, strengthen connections, and support healing and healthy development within their families.
Parents who attend the entire Zoom call will earn 1.5 hours of in-service training credit toward your annual 12-hour requirement. Come connect and learn with other kinship, foster, and adoptive families.
