FACES On-Line Support Group
FACES: Family Advocacy, Collaboration, Empowerment, Support

Whether you are a foster parent, an adoptive parent, have guardianship, or are kinship/family care giver, this group is designed to give support, information, resources and encouragement. Foster Parents are vital to keeping children safe and helping them heal from the trauma of abuse, neglect, abandonment or removal from their family home. This support group can help by:

• Working together to improve the lives of children not living with their birth parents.
• Through mutual support foster families are strengthened and placement stability is improved for the children in care.
• Foster Parenting is a journey. Foster Parents must strive to keep up on educational opportunities to be better equipped to protect the health and safety of the children placed in our care. Staying informed and up to date on issues affecting the child welfare system are also important.

Starting in 2015 we will have weekly chats Tuesdays at 9:00 PM (Central Time). Each week we will have a topic of discussion. During this time anything and everything related to the topic will be discussed. Just like in-person support groups, this will be a closed forum and issues discussed should remain confidential. If there is a topic you would like to suggest please let Terry Robinson know.

Please ask to join FACES of Nebraska by contacting Terry Robinson on Face Book or Terry@nfapa.org.
