WEBINAR: Foster Care Awareness Month
5/12/26 7-8pm
This one-hour, engaging presentation offers foster and adoptive parents a refreshing opportunity to laugh, exhale, and feel truly understood. Through humor, storytelling, and shared experience, a husband-and-wife team delivers a lighthearted yet meaningful message that acknowledges the realities of foster care while leaving participants encouraged and hopeful. Using satire and sarcasm, the presenters walk families through a humorous “Top 10” countdown that reflects the unpredictability, exhaustion, and emotional complexity of fostering—followed by a powerful shift toward connection, resilience, and purpose.

WEBINAR: Overview of Child Welfare Court-
4/7/2026 7-8pm
Juvenile abuse, neglect, and dependency proceedings can be confusing and stressful for everyone involved. That is especially true for resource parents – folks who play a critical role in the care of system-involved children, but who do not typically have an attorney to help them navigate the process. This session will provide an overview of juvenile proceedings with a focus on common questions asked by resource parents, including those about who gets to talk to the judge, why cases get continued, and what happened when the attorneys and the judge left the courtroom to speak privately about the case.
