What do foster parents and child advocates have in common? We are co-laborers in protecting the present and future of the children in our care. But how can we effectively collaborate to drive meaningful reform? Join us for an informative and transparent discussion on managing expectations across the continuum of care, with a focus on the foster parenting perspective. Topics will include preparation, the four levels of awareness, grief, self-care, and self-improvement.
