What Do YOU Want Your Family & Friends to Know?

Wow! I don't know if you've seen it, but I posted on my Facebook Page that I needed a little help in doing some research for a class coming up. The question was...What do you want your family and friends to understand? and boy did I get lots of input...over 120 people have commented so far.

I get it. Feeling judged and questioned all of the time is no way to live. Not having the support of the most important people in your life can be very alienating. Life can get very lonely! 

I think one thing we can all agree on is that unless you walk the path we are walking, you just can't get what it takes to help a child like ours heal. So we understand that our family and friends might not know our struggle or have any clue as to how to help.   

However, I'm not okay with just leaving it at that. Having a support system that really works is key!  So...I am taking on this mission. I am putting together a video called Supporting An Adoptive, Foster, Guardian, Kinship or Step Family 101. 

In this video, I'll explain the science of things, how everyday can get hard, and why we have to do it differently, along with share ideas of what your support system CAN do to really help your family get to happy and healthy! A culmination of over 100 families input on what they want their support system to know. 

Yours to use to help build and strengthen your support system.

Being surrounded by support is so crucial in building the Safety Net your child so deserves. It is key in staying in it no matter what and for as long as it takes - and that is where healing happens. On this journey, you need to surround yourself with people that get it cause they've already walked it, surround yourself with people that are walking it with you and surround yourself with the people who have been your safety net all along.  

Choosing to be a part of the Intentional Parent Coaching Group is your next most powerful step to getting your family to happy and healthy.  The people that get it cause they've lived it. And the people that get it cause they are in the trenches with you! 

This month in the IPCG we are focusing in on strengthening and building your support system.  I want to personally invite you to join us and take advantage of all that typically goes on in the group +  all of the bonuses this month like the Supporting An Adoptive, Foster, Guardian, Kinship or Step Family 101 video. In the Intentional Parent Coaching Group this month, we are getting families SUPPORT.

Here are just a couple other things we have going this month. 

-Two Drawings for a One Hour Live Team Coaching Session. This is meant to be used with extended family and/or close friends that are a part of your every day life. This session will help get your team on the same page. 
-A Free template: Dear Support System,... This letter template can be used to educate family, friends and others as to your goals, plans and hope for your children. It will also help them understand their role in your child's life.

No more doing this alone! 

Let's get you really surrounded by support and your family moving towards happy and healthy.
