Landisville Adoptive/Foster Parent Support Group
Parenting children from hard places is a different experience few understand. As an adoptive/foster parent you may feel alone, judged, and misunderstood. Our group provides psychoeducation and support to foster/adoptive parents and is led by an experienced Adoptive Parent. This is a place you will be understood and cared for in your journey. We meet monthly in person and have locations in Landisville and Harrisburg. If you receive SWAN services, your participation may be at no cost to you. Contact Elaine@mohinfo.com for more information
