Goal$ and Assets: Family Conversations About Money
You already have experiences and strengths around money. This no-cost series focuses on those as a starting point for building more financial knowledge to support your family’s well-being.
During this six-week series, you’ll learn how your experiences before age 7 shaped how you think about money. You will learn new strategies for managing your finances, share your own experiences, ask questions, and talk about activities you can do at home with your child – because your child’s ideas about money are being shaped right now!
This class begins on January 7th and runs through February 11th, meeting every Tuesday. This class will be offered virtually and is open to all! Current NCHS families can also use this class to earn Recognition through Mobility Mentoring. Graduates of the series will receive access to an ongoing support group to continue to learn and build skills.Families Forever Support Group (Virtual)
Social and informal support networks provide parents and families the opportunity to learn from one another and maintain resiliency when experiencing a crisis. We believe adoptive and guardianship families can learn so much from each other and that there is no one better to receive support from, than those that “get it” or have walked in your shoes. We also believe families should celebrate small and big victories together and have some time to relax and visit with one another.
This event is open to all Families Forever participants statewide. No registration required. A Zoom link for this meeting will be sent to all current families.
Please see your Family Permanency Specialist with questions.

Legal Options for Kinship Caregivers Clinic
Kinship caregivers and community partners are invited to this free virtual session to explore the various legal options available to them. Topics will cover temporary delegation of parental authority, guardianship, adoption and more.
The discussion will provide an in-depth look at:
• When to use each option and the legal processes involved
• Processes to attain, ongoing documentation and legal costs
• When parental rights are retained and how to reverse
• Availability of state benefits
The pros and cons of each option will also be examined. A Q&A session will follow, offering participants an opportunity to ask questions and gain valuable insights.
