For almost three decades, the Coalition’s annual statewide conference has provided an opportunity for foster, adoptive and relative care parents to join with professionals to be inspired, network and learn about the latest in the field.
Aimed at parents and professionals alike, the conference brings leaders in the child welfare field to New York and offers a variety of topical workshops designed to deepen the knowledge of attendees, make connections to other parents and professionals and give attendees tools they can bring home and share in their community. Nationally-known plenary speakers and workshop presenters share their knowledge and expertise to help participants gain perspective, increase skills, and learn to appreciate the positives.
Please Join Us for the 29th Annual Foster Care and Adoption Conference!
As parents and professionals, we know the needs of our children sometime compete with the rewards our families and our work offer. Nurturing a child with a history of loss or other complex adverse experiences requires a deeper understanding of brain function, triggers and techniques. It also challenges us physically, mentally and emotionally.
The Coalition’s 2018 conference will explore innovative therapies and methods to assist in accepting, expressing and healing trauma for ourselves, our clients, our families and our children. We will also focus on what parents in the trenches and those in the field can do to ensure that they get the support and self-care that they need to continue this vital work.
