Tuesday Timely Topics: Foster care and adoption in Florida: what we should know.

Foster care and adoption is largely misunderstood, but critical to the success of our communities.  Childhood trauma is multi-generational.  How these children are treated means the difference between a successful adult or more generations of trauma.  Attendees will learn about ACE (the number of traumatic, adverse childhood experiences) scores and take their own ACE evaluation. Attendees will learn the most common reasons for removing a child from their parents, different types of placements, the role grandparents and fictive kin play in placements, and the behavior and educational challenges these children face.  We'll end with examples of successful and resilient foster children who have gone on to be community leaders. Attendees who choose to donate will be able to pick a foster child and provide holiday gifts through the non-profit local Hero To A Child program.
