Resiliency-Oriented, Hope-Focused Professional Training

VIRTUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING SERIES

Schools can be powerful places of healing—when we understand the “why” behind behavior and the needs of children in adoption, foster care, and kinship families. iCARE’s Connected, We Thrive™ Series equips educators, school mental health professionals, and support teams with the tools, language, and frameworks they need to create welcoming classrooms where all students feel safe, seen, and supported.

Each workshop can be customized for your audience and includes hands-on materials, breakout sessions, and a focus on real-world implementation.

Beyond the Family Tree™, From Cradle to Classroom™, and It Takes a Team™ are 60-90 minute, live, virtual workshops. There are monthly dates and times for each session (to better fit your busy schedule.)

To find dates and times to attend and purchase tickets, visit our Eventbrite page or visit https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/connected-we-thrivetm-4492393

Workshops through December 2025 are open for tickets. IF you would like a more customized workshop or to host an in-person worship, please contact Laura.
