A Conference-Within-A-Conference for Parents & Caregivers

Building Resilience & Improving Children’s Outcome

Our “conference-within-a-conference” focuses on trauma-informed, attachment-focused parenting & caregiving, often called Connected Parenting or Therapeutic Parenting.

NACAC is pleased to present a virtual one-day conference on key race and equity issues in the US and Canada. Professionals, parents, young people who experienced foster care or adoption, and other advocates are encouraged to attend to learn how they can make changes that result in better outcomes for children and families of color.

Attendees can participate live or listen to a recorded version of workshops, or a combination of the two. Recordings will be available through April 30, 2021.

Registration is $50 for NACAC members and $60 for non-members. Registration is for one person or a parenting couple who will be participating together. Please note that registration fees are not refundable but can be transferred to another person.
