Relationships Matter: Building Birth and Foster Parent Partnerships that Last
Please join us to hear from representatives of the Birth and Foster Parent Partnership (BFPP) as they share their experiences in building and supporting meaningful partnerships and discuss how children/youth are more likely to thrive when the important adults in their lives work together and share responsibilities and decision-making. The BFPP representatives will introduce you to two tools developed by parents and partners within the BFPP include:
Birth and Foster Parent Partnership: A Relationship Building Guide
Birth and Foster Parent Partnership: A State and Local Leader’s
Guide to Building a Strong Policy and Practice Foundation
The BFPP is working to promote lasting relationships between birth parents, foster parents and kinship caregivers to support families and to help systems institute policies and practices to support these relationships. Research and experience both demonstrate the value when staff, birth parents, and foster parents work in partnership to achieve better outcomes for families and children.
