🌟 FEATURED WORKSHOP 🌟 Holding Steady: Guiding Families Through Crises with Jenn Meyer from Children's Alliance of Kansas

Suspensions, running away, self-harm, psychiatric hospitalizations, safety assessments, complex relationships with birth families, and aggression — these are just some of the challenges adoptive, foster, and kinship parents may encounter. Attendees will gain practical tools, deeper understanding, and supportive strategies to help adoptive families not only endure crises, but emerge from them with greater resilience and connection.
