Our Support Groups provide adoptive, foster, and kinship parents a place to connect with one another and have an opportunity to explore trauma-related topics that pertain to their family.  The goal is for each parent to leave feeling heard, connected to other parents who understand them, and having a sense of direction for the future. Each location has a team of volunteers to provide childcare on a monthly basis.

The locations and details are listed below. Please select the location where you would like to volunteer and fill out the volunteer application. You will be prompted by email to fill out the background check information. We will then contact you once your application has been approved!
