This meeting will provide the participants with an overview of reunification, guardianship, KinGAP, and adoption and identifies ways kinship caregivers can support permanency planning. It will also provide participants with an understanding of how to provide "Normalcy" to children living in out of home care, and how to support children and youth who identify as LGBTQ+.
Meeting #5 is also a time to check in on your progress toward your licensing checklist!
Focusing on the Future: In today's class we watched Lilo & Stitch to describe Lilo's family dynamics, her strengths, and how she balanced her social life, family, and hobbies. Then, in our resilience handbooks answered, "What makes me great?" Children will learn to recognize their strengths and superpowers, the importance of balancing all aspects of their life, and maintaining a healthy support system.
