We’re now accepting proposals for Keynote and breakout sessions at our upcoming Foster Parent Retreat! This retreat, tentatively scheduled for November 8 or 15, 2025, is designed to nourish, encourage, and equip foster parents—not with mandatory training, but with meaningful, life-giving sessions that speak to the heart of the fostering journey.
We’re looking for session leaders who can share practical wisdom, personal experience, and uplifting insights around topics such as:
- Self-care and mental health for caregivers
- Maintaining a strong marriage while fostering
- Thriving as a single foster parent
- Supporting biological children in a foster home
- Building a healthy support network
- Faith and resilience through the ups and downs
- Creative outlets for stress relief
- Finding joy and purpose in the everyday challenges of fostering
If you have a message or experience that can encourage and empower foster parents, we’d love for you to submit a session idea.
Please note: This retreat is not focused on licensing or compliance training. We’re seeking sessions that inspire, connect, and restore—designed to refresh the hearts of those who give so much.
