National Resource Center for Youth Services: Resource Family Training & Support

NRCYS

Support Groups for Region 2

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. Some groups serve dinner or snacks; all provide child care with your RSVP. Please contact the facilitator to find out about the topic or confirm your attendance.

October Meeting: Navigating Fostering Children and Individual Time Together

Speaker: Kira Calhoun-Wilson, Associate Pastor- Ardmore First Methodist Church

This training will provide caregivers with strategies to intentionally engage children through everyday interactions that promote trust, attachment, and resilience. We will also address the unique challenges older teens may face in foster families and offer practical approaches to support their adjustment and role within the household. Participants will gain actionable tools to foster a safe, nurturing, and connected environments for all children in their care.

Training Credit: Parents in attendance will earn 2 hours of in-service training credit toward your annual 12-hour requirement. Come connect and learn with other kinship, foster, and adoptive families in Garvin, McClain, and surrounding counties.
