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.

January Topic: Bridging with Bio Families

Join us for an in-person support group session focused on the importance of building positive, collaborative relationships with biological families. This discussion will explore practical strategies for effective communication, maintaining healthy boundaries, and fostering a sense of partnership that benefits the child's well-being.

This Network Support Group is designed to provide information and opportunities for networking with other resource families and resources, both locally and statewide. All resource families are welcome to attend: Kinship, Foster, Adoptive, and Enhanced Foster Care Families.

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 surrounding counties.
