Prenatal Substance Exposure Workshop for Foster, Adoptive, and Kinship Parents

Creating a Family offers this evidence-based, trauma-informed workshop to help parents recognize the signs and symptoms of prenatal substance exposure and train them on techniques that work best with these kids. We are able to offer this workshop free with the support of the Jockey Being Family® Foundation.
