Effective Adoption Support Groups for Families (2 CDs)

Presented by Ardell Brackley and Michelle Hirst of Children's Friend & Service, and Bernadette Hicks of Adoption Rhode Island at the 37th NACAC Conference 2011 in Denver, Colorado. This training will explore the effect of support groups on both adoptive and pre-adoptive parents and the children in their care. Come learn how supportive it is for a family to meet with others who are having the same experiences and feelings. We’ll discuss how separate parent and child support groups help parents and children stay together and work through the hard times.
