Foster care suport

March 24-26 2023

Foster care is full of ups and downs, that's for sure. The Fearless Fostering retreat helps you to know (and feel!) that you're not alone - in any of it. I utilize my skills as a therapist to help you process your emotions and take the next right step, as well as connect you with other amazing foster mamas who completely get what you're going through. Delicious food and drink, your own luxury hotel room, and an intimate conversational setting are the icing on the cake!

New York, NY

Foster care has brought our family incredible joy, as well as incredible opportunities for growth. Sometimes, that growth can be painful. In seasons when it feels like you're fighting an uphill battle, or that no one else in your life really "gets it," or well-intentioned loved ones say the wrong thing, you just yearn for a different type of support. You deserve it. And frankly, you need it. Foster care isn't something we were meant to do alone.

You're stronger than you think you are. But if you're anything like me, you need a little guidance and support at times. In other words, you just want someone to tell you what works.

this is the retreat for you.

"Forever changed by these women, changed by a weekend away to recharge and refocus..."

It doesn't always feel safe to reach out to your case worker or post in a Facebook group when you're struggling. If you're feeling overwhelmed or frustrated by any aspect of fostering, Fearless Fostering is the perfect safety net.
