Families Like Ours and Treehouse have joined together to help you with all this and more. Join us for The Parent Institute on Saturday May 14th and learn how you can advocate for your kid(s) without creating an adversarial relationship with the school.

Who should attend? Pre and post adoptive families, foster families, and kinship families.
 
How much does it cost? Nothing! Seats are limited so don't waiting. Through a special grant, we're able to provide this training at no cost to families.
