Hello Parents,
The Attach Place
Center for Strengthening Relationships
Here is a link to a survey for parents like you in California who are interested in having a voice in where some grant money gets directed for kids and families. If you complete the survey and come into my office, I will give you a $5.00 gift card to Target (while they last). If you don’t come into my office, you may benefit from the grant funding in the form of services. Win/Win. Yay. Please do it when you have a few minutes.
Even if you filled it out last year, you can do it again for this year. Thank you.

NACAC shares current child welfare information and post-adoption best practices through publications, our website, social media, webinars, and educational events. Each year, NACAC hosts the most comprehensive adoption conference in North America.
We also provide information and training on adoption topics for parent group members, parents, young people who were adopted or in care, and child welfare professionals. As part of a federally funded collaboration called Critical Ongoing Resource Family Education or CORE, NACAC is currently working with Spaulding for Children and other partners to help improve the training offered to foster and adoptive parents of children who are older and have more needs.
Are You a Professional Who Works With Children?
We are hosting a discussion/focus group for professionals who work with children who are not being raised by their biological parents. Our community would like to assess the needs of professionals (agency workers, therapists, community providers) who serve our families. What do you need? What does the community need? A Community Champions Network may help us meet the needs and fill the gaps in our community. Can’t join us for the discussion but still want to join the conversation? Email Kathryn at kemoryka@netscape.net.
