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.
Jackson County Live Support Group
June 6, 2025
First Baptist Church of Granite
509 North Main Street
Granite, OK 73547
We will discuss advice on how to better interact with tribal governments and representatives, provide resources to better incorporate native customs and traditions in everyday life, and inform foster and adoptive families of the benefits that tribes can provide. Even if you are not currently in a tribal placement home, being educated now may help you later!
Facilitator: Beth Pritchard
Speaker: Blake Ashlynn, Director of Indian Child Welfare (Comanche Nation)
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 Jackson and surrounding counties.
