Welcome To The Village: A Support Group for Newly Licensed Foster Parents

Starting your fostering journey can feel both exciting and overwhelming—and you don’t have to do it alone. This one-time support group is designed specifically for newly licensed (within the last 12 months) foster parents to connect with our team and gain practical tools for the road ahead.

Using Foster Village Charlotte’s Village Bridge curriculum, we’ll walk alongside you with resources, real-life experiences, and encouragement. Our team of experienced foster parents, child development experts, and therapists has been where you are, and we’re here to help you launch well.

Topics may include:

1. Building Your Village

2. Caring for You

3. Navigating Your First Placement

4. Shared Parenting

5. Navigating the System and Your Team 

Overall, this is a time of connection to help you feel prepared, supported, and welcomed for the journey ahead.

If you have questions about if this is the right support group for you, please reach out to katie@fostervillagecharlotte.org.
