Description

You’ve spent months preparing your home, your friends, your family, and yourself, and your worker just dropped a young person off at your home, leaving you in charge.

Now what?

In this webinar, we’ll tackle the first 30 days following a foster/adoptive placement.

What do our young people need? What conversations need to happen? What systems need to be in place? What happens when our best-laid plans go belly up?

We’ll discuss the answers to these questions and more so that all participants depart ready to develop their own personal action plan, or partner with a family to support stability and success.
