About This Event
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a foster child? Or maybe a foster parent?
Join us for a unique role-playing experience that gives you an inside look into the child welfare system and an opportunity to walk in the shoes of a foster child, foster parent, and/or biological parent. This is a chance to learn more without any strings attached.
In this interactive experience about foster care, participants step into the shoes of birth parents, foster parents, and the displaced children, learning a little bit about what it feels like to experience foster care.
To prepare everyone, a couple of pointers:
- This training is interactive. You choose to become a child, parent, or foster/kinship provider and role play through a guided experience.
- This training is educational. Through the role-playing experience, you will learn a lot about what it might be like to be in foster care. This is a great training for those interested in learning more or thinking about engaging with the foster care system in a larger way.
- This training can be emotional. You will want to be in a place to receive it well. If you have experienced the foster care system or emotional trauma in any way and would like to speak to our team about what you might experience in this event, please reach our Outreach Coordinator at info@cfknc.org.
