Parents, Caregivers, Foster Care, and Adoption:
Families, What Are They and How Do We Help Them?

Caregivers come in all shapes and sizes. This webinar will help us appreciate the changing nature of the term “family”. There is no such thing as a “traditional/typical” family. New definitions of “Family” will be presented. To those ends, discussion on understanding these differences, appreciating their struggles, and designing approaches to address their problems will all be included in this webinar.
