One of the ways we walk alongside foster and kinship caregivers is through our trauma-informed workshops. These expert-led sessions provide practical tools and insights to help caregivers better understand and support the children in their homes.

Past workshops have covered topics such as understanding ADHD, the impacts of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum, the importance of play, building strong connections through shared parenting, and more.

If you’re caring for a child experiencing foster care, be sure to check out our Caregiver Calendar on our website for upcoming workshops, trainings, and support groups.

Our home-like Connection Cottage is more than a building; it's a space where connections are made, and dignity is prioritized. Stocked with essentials and designed with care, this center is possible because of the community's commitment to supporting families in foster care. From a play studio to a fully functioning kitchen, we're creating environments where children and parents can thrive in hopes of reunification.

This space is where connection happens.

For families navigating the complexities of foster care, our support gatherings offer a vital space for connection, understanding, and resources. Caregivers open up about real challenges. From navigating new family dynamics to addressing trauma and attachment issues, they find solace in hearing, “I get it,” from those who truly understand.

While caregivers engage in meaningful conversations, children are cared for by our supportive childcare team, allowing them to play, express big feelings, and connect with peers who share similar stories. And our dedicated staff stands ready to support every step of the way. If you're a local foster or kinship caregiver, join us! We've saved a chair for you.

Because of the generosity of and their Community Awards grant, 12 children in our community were able to enjoy enriching summer experiences while school was out.

From tennis and music camps to hands-on exploratory play, these opportunities gave caregivers the chance to create joyful memories and meaningful experiences for the children in their care. We're so grateful for partners like Lift Up Carolinas!
