BURTONSVILLE FAMILIES: In-Person Support Group for Transracial Adoptive or Guardianship Youth (Ages 7 to 9)
Join us in the Burtonsville office for a support group for children (ages 7 to 9) in transracial families. The group will provide a space to build community, gain support, and receive age-appropriate learning and resources. This support group is designed as a consistent six-month experience. Families are asked to commit to regular biweekly attendance so the group can build trust, continuity, and meaningful support.
