Advocating for Your Child in Schools + Beyond

Dr. Beth Feger

As parents and caregivers of kids who have experienced loss, trauma, or separation, we know that there are unique hurdles and successes surrounding the school topic. We may not always know where to set the bar for our children or what to say when the situation calls for us to advocate out loud. With over two decades of experience in education, Dr. Beth Feger will take session participants through planning and practical strategies YOU need to better prepare to support your child in school.

Meeting Your Own Needs While Caring for Others

Lee Lewis

Are you a parent who has started to feel the effects of caring for children from hard places? As a professional, can you feel yourself inching toward burnout? This work is often taxing and without breaks. We know the answer to worry is to "trust God." But what does that actually look like when we're in the trenches of caring for others? Join us during this session for encouragement from Pastor of Soul Care, Lee Lewis, as he shares daily practices that help us to truly trust God while caring for those He's entrusted to us.
