Part of the presentation will be a PowerPoint, so joining from a laptop or tablet is recommended for clear viewing.

To get the most out of our class, we request that participants dedicate the time to be present, participate, take notes, ask questions, and attend from home or an office where they are able to give the class their full attention. Driving, cleaning, cooking, going on/off camera, etc. means information will be missed and is distracting to the other participants.

Those attending to meet our Foster or Adoption criteria: We kindly ask that you keep your camera ON for the duration of the class, with all family members visible, and join in asking and answering questions. This allows us to confirm everyone’s understanding and offer real-time support where needed.
