Partner Hosted Events

Second Nurture is a non-profit organization that partners with communities to service foster/adoptive families. We hold monthly meetings for foster/adoptive parents, which we call cohorts, to build a supportive network outside of the traditional foster care team of social workers and professionals. At each cohort, we provide free childcare in another room at the same location and our Family Support Specialist will be there to guide the conversation and assist as needed.

Everyone likes to say, “It takes a village…” but foster/adoptive parents often feel like they have to go at it alone. Not with Second Nurture – we are here to provide a level of support that can only be achieved through shared, lived experiences.

For more information & to RSVP, contact Martha Hausman at martha@2Nurture.org or RSVP through 2N's website here.
