A Message From Our Executive Director

We are celebrating Foster, Adoptive and Kinship Caregivers this month!  Thank you for all you do to support children who need a safe haven.

We are less than 50 days away of an incredible gathering of resource parents and child welfare professionals at our 53rd NFPA Education Conference.

We have engaging presenters discussing topics that we know are important to you, and fun activities lined up as well:  A  family-friendly sock-hop, a Gala, silent and live auctions, all at the Reston Hyatt, a luxury hotel close to downtown DC.  Learn, relax, enjoy!

Our keynote speaker this year, Dr. Angela Pharris, is a Senior Researcher at the Hope Research Center at the University of Oklahoma.  She will be discussing the Science of Hope and it's significance in dealing with childhood trauma.  

This is a great opportunity to ask questions of experts and network with your peers.  We promise you will leave this conference refreshed and enthusiastic!  Please join us!
