Connection Groups
Connection Group Details
We host connection groups for foster, adoptive, and kinship families, whether you are with The Sanctuary, with another agency, or an adoptive family. These groups were formerly known as support groups, but we are finding that we want to connect people to each other and to the resources that supports the family in their journey. Please reach out to our connection group coordinator, Kristin Gonzalez, if you have any questions!
Our Connection Groups have taken time off for the summer. Please check out our Family Events Calendar to find events in the area to connect foster, adoptive, and kinship families together in community. Please check back later to find details regarding Fall groups!
