Resource Family Program Presentation

LGBTQ children and youth are overrepresented in foster care and so there is a huge need for LGBTQ-affirming homes and caregivers. This presentation will highlight creating family connections and finding meaning and purpose in caring for community members. We have many foster parents who are older adults, including grandparent caregivers, and we hope some of you would like to get involved as well.
