Through engaging discussions and real-life examples, participants will learn:
– How to recognize the early signs of burnout and distinguish between temporary exhaustion and the need for deeper support.
– Practical steps to take when feeling overwhelmed and how to make self-care a priority in a busy life.
– The critical importance of a support network and strategies for building one that meets their unique needs.
– When and how to take a break while honoring commitments and ensuring the well-being of children in their care.
This course also highlights personal stories of foster parents who overcame the urge to quit, valuable resources to combat discouragement, and actionable ways churches, agencies, and communities can better support foster families.
