“If a child with a complex family story walked into our school tomorrow, what would tell them – without words – that they belong here?” This is a question worth asking as schools are being asked to support students with increasingly complex needs – yet one major gap remains:
Most educators have never received professional learning on adoption, foster care, kinship care, and the lifelong impact of early loss and disrupted attachment.
The Adoption & Foster Friendly Schools Campaign is on a mission to close the gap – empowering schools with shared language, practical tools, and powerful family partnerships so every student feels seen, supported, and heard. Join this webinar to hear from Champions on how to empower your school to become an Adoption and Foster Friendly School.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how to recognize early relational loss and disrupted attachment as part of a child’s learning context
- Discover ways to add adoption and foster-informed learning into professional development – especially for student services and leadership teams
- Increase use of adoption- and foster-competent practices by mental health support team
