About the event
Together, we’ll talk about the different types of grief that often go unnamed in foster care—including anticipated grief, disenfranchised grief, and ambiguous loss—and why recognizing them matters so much. We’ll also explore how friends, family members, and support networks can better “wrap around” foster families in meaningful ways during hard seasons.
