💙 Holding the Goodbye: A Support Space for Foster Parent Reunification Grief

Reunification is an important goal in foster care, but that doesn’t make saying goodbye any easier. Foster parents often experience a unique form of grief that can feel unseen or difficult to talk about.

CAFAF is partnering with Silent Waters Therapeutic Services LLC to offer a safe, supportive space for foster parents to reflect, connect, and process the emotions that can come with reunification.

Thursday, June 25, 2026
6:00–7:30 PM
CAFAF Main Office – Rocky Hill, CT

Facilitated by Joseph Montalvo of Silent Waters Therapeutic Services LLC, this small in-person group will provide an opportunity to:
✨ Reflect on your experience
✨ Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable
✨ Connect with other foster parents who understand
✨ Find language and meaning for feelings that can often feel like silent grief

This event is intended to offer support, understanding, and community for those navigating the emotional side of foster parenting.
