Tending the Root: Supporting Foster & Adoptive Families
When a child comes from hard places, their healing depends on a strong, grounded root system — one that includes their caregivers and their circle of support.
Tending the Root is a trauma-informed workshop designed for the friends, family, and community members who love someone who is fostering or adopting.
You’ll learn what trauma really means, why traditional parenting advice often backfires, and how to support caregivers without judgment or burnout.
This is not therapy — it’s education, connection, and transformation.
You’ll leave with practical tools and a deeper understanding of how to show up in ways that truly help families heal.
🌱 You’ll Learn
- What trauma and attachment really look like in everyday life
- How stress and behavior connect in children with trauma histories
- Simple neuroscience-based tools to stay calm and connected
- Ways to support caregivers compassionately and effectively
- How to be part of a “village” that helps families thrive
