Clackamas Support Groups

Foster and Adoption Support Group

River West Church

Sundays, July 06-Dec 07 | 5-6:30pm | Community Rm

Parenting through foster care or adoption is a unique journey filled with love, challenges, and transformation. Whether you're navigating behavioral hurdles, attachment issues, or just seeking understanding, our support group is here to walk alongside you. Connect with others who truly "get it" in a safe, compassionate space where experiences are shared, resources are exchanged, and hearts are lifted. Together, we grow stronger — for ourselves and our children. The group will be run from a TBRI lens!

This group will meet on the first Sunday of the month and will be facilitated by Rhonda Andrews, a licensed clinical social worker and associate professor at George Fox University.

RSVP HERE, open June 06- December 07
