Each year, thousands of immigrant and refugee youth arrive in the United States seeking safety, stability, and a better future. Many of these young people come from regions affected by war, violence, persecution, or extreme poverty, and some arrive unaccompanied—without a parent or guardian to care for them. Once in the U.S., they face the challenges of adjusting to a new culture, language, and legal system while coping with the trauma of their past. These youth are incredibly resilient, and with the right support—such as placement in safe, loving foster homes—they have the opportunity to heal, thrive, and build meaningful lives in their new communities.

Please join Diakon Foster Care & Adoption for a look at our Pasos Program – long term foster care for immigrant and refugee youth.  During this one-hour session, you will learn who these children are, how foster care works, how the licensing process works and what support is provided to you, and information on cultural, legal and trauma informed care.

Join us for a no-obligation information session to explore how you can become a licensed Diakon foster/adoptive family for an immigrant or refugee youth. Pre‑registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Are you ready to open your heart and your home for a youth who has been separated from their family?

Join us for an informative session learning about adoption & foster care options in Pennsylvania.

The information session can help you decide whether you are comfortable taking the next steps to become a licensed Diakon foster family. Sessions are offered without obligation; participants are not required to proceed following the presentation.

Pre-registration is required so that the ZOOM link can be shared.

Women with epilepsy who want to become pregnant deserve access to pertinent data about the impact of anti-seizure medications on their babies. For nearly three decades, the North American Antiepileptic Drug Pregnancy Registry has worked with thousands of pregnant women and healthcare providers to collect that data. This webinar covers the who, what, how, and why of what the NA AED Pregnancy Registry does, and supplies a clear call to action for pregnant women with epilepsy and the people who love and care for them.

Join us for an interactive discussion with former Wisconsin Governor Martin J. Schreiber—caregiving speaker, author, and advocate—shares his deeply personal story of resilience and love amid Alzheimer’s.

Drawing from his acclaimed memoir My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer’s Caregiver which recounts his 18-year journey caring for his late wife, Elaine, Marty reflects on how he learned to care for his “second” Elaine. His insights offer candid, hard-earned wisdom that fellow caregivers will recognize and value.

Virginia has a growing number of social respite programs that meet a clear need in the continuum of dementia supports: providing social engagement and respite opportunities for people living with dementia, their caregivers and the volunteers that support these programs. Even in the early stages of the disease, people living with dementia can become increasingly isolated. These programs provide a space for socializing, participating in activities and providing purpose for people who may not need the full range of supports provided by traditional adult day programs.

Learning objectives:

Describe the role and benefits of social respite programs for people living with dementia and their caregivers.

Identify key components of successful social respite models operating in Virginia.

Recognize opportunities to strengthen and expand social respite offerings through collaboration, funding, and community partnerships
