More About The Program

Help your child refresh and increase their communication skills and social interactions as they gain a better understanding of the strengths they possess which can help them feel successful in this upcoming school year!

In this one-day, 3-hour workshop, participants will focus on relationship-building and communication skills. Through engaging in social skills games, sharing a meal together, and connecting with other adoptees during a structured free time-space, children will explore their strengths, gain tools to develop their social skills and build confidence as they prepare for the new school year.

Space is limited. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the program's facilitator, Missy Herendeen, via email at mherendeen [at] barkerfoundation.org or call our office at 301-664-9664.
