Meets every 2nd Thursday of the month Support Group Leader: MaryJo Meer Understanding Behaviors Around Visitation & Tips of What You Can Do: Visits between foster children and their biological parents are extremely important because it helps children to maintain contact with their birth family. Studies also show that the more of these visits foster children have, the more positively they view their birth parents and the shorter their stays in foster care are likely to be. However, these visits can be difficult for foster children, birth parents, and foster parents too! And for a number of reasons, children can suffer before, during, and after visits with their birth parents. Join us to learn what you can do to prepare for these visits and better understand a foster child’s response to birth parent visits. ***Please Note: This class will be facilitated on the Zoom platform.
