There is no ‘magic solutions manual’ when it comes to parenting. We can often find ourselves struggling to know what to do or where to turn, especially when our child has a complex history, such as adoption or foster care.
In this free webinar series, hear from local and national experts about topics including dietary issues, medical interventions, developmental challenges, sensory needs, attachment, birth families, and culture.
Following the presentations, there will also be a Q&A session. With this team of experts, there is no question they can’t answer!
