We are proud to share the information below from the
Imagine Different...Achieve Different Coalition about their
ALTERNATE FAMILY RECRUITMENT FORUM coming up on May 21.
PLEASE JOIN US FOR A FORUM AND PANEL PRESENTATION
WEDNESDAY, MAY 21 10AM-12PM
ZOOM WEBINAR
Hundreds of children with developmental disabilities are
unnecessarily growing up in congregate care settings because of the
insufficient availability of alternate family homes in both the child
welfare and developmental disabilities systems. This forum will
provide an opportunity for agencies across systems and across
counties to share their family recruitment ideas.
A panel of alternate family recruitment professionals from Access
Services, CONCERN4Kids, Diakon Adoption and Foster Care,
EveryChild, TX Inc., and Spectrum Community Services, as well as
webinar attendees, will share effective strategies for securing
successful family foster homes and Life Sharing homes for children
with developmental disabilities.
We believe all children should
grow up in families and, with the
right supports, this can happen
for all children with disabilities.
