Join us for Caregiver Connection: Building Community WITH Black Youth, a virtual, interactive training designed specifically for foster, adoptive, and kinship caregivers who want to deepen their understanding of the experiences of Black youth in transracial homes.

Together, we’ll explore how identity develops, why representation matters, and how caregivers can take practical steps to help Black youth build authentic connections with people, spaces, and communities around them.

This is an opportunity to learn, reflect, ask questions, and connect with other caregivers who are committed to creating affirming environments where Black youth can thrive.
