For Parents
We want to help you parent from a place of hope and rest. And we know that traditional parenting strategies may do more harm than good for kids who have experienced foster care or adoption. Learn practical strategies that you can implement in your home from trainers who "get it". You'll leave with the knowledge and encouragement to parent in a connected way.
For Professionals
If you are a teacher, social worker, camp counselor, or work in an organization that serves children and families and want to bring trauma-informed care to your team, you can request a training to fit your organization's needs. Gain knowledge about how trauma impacts the body, brain, and behavior and learn strategies that can be implemented in your program right away!
For Churches
The foster and adoptive community desperately needs the church community. And they need the church to understand children from hard places and the unique joys and challenges when parenting them. Learn how to create safe spaces for all children and families in your ministry.
