Support Group Leader: Emma Martinez-Tidmore
(The Options for Recovery Perinatal Program is for caregivers caring for children ages 0 to 60 months who are drug and/or alcohol exposed and/or HIV-positive. Options Caregivers receive 35 hours of specialized training and qualify for 48 hours of monthly respite. If you are interested in becoming an Options caregiver, please call Graciela Soto at (619)813-7519 or email .)
Topic: The most successful resource parents understand their role goes beyond supporting the children in their care to supporting the children’s families as a whole. Making connections with birth parents as soon as possible and keeping communication open and honest from the start can help build a strong and ongoing partnership. Join us as we discuss the importance of partnering with birth parents to promote reunification and the common themes and tips that have emerged from conversations with birth and foster parents on how attitudes, expectations, and child and family‐ centered actions can affect outcomes for children and families.
