In-Person Support Groups

Our monthly support groups are led by current or former foster, adoptive, or respite parents. Every group includes mentor moms and dads—seasoned parents who have raised children impacted by trauma and loss into adulthood. They offer wisdom, experience, and hope.

Support groups meet September through May at various locations across the Twin Cities. Each meeting begins and ends in prayer, includes refreshments (or lunch!), and creates space for authentic support through conversation. Some groups include optional book studies.
