We are offering a support group for parents that have or are currently fostering or have adopted kids. We meet every month on the THIRD Sunday of the month for some food, fellowship, support and some equipping/training (applicable to foster training requirements). There are unique challenges for fostering and adoption. Let's walk through those challenges together and support one another along the way.

Next meeting: Sunday, April 19, 2026, 5:00pm-7:00pm @ Cornerstone Fellowship (348 N. Canyons Pkwy, Livermore)

Topic: Special Guest Speaker - Emotional Resilience Workshop by Katherine Kozioziemski, MA, CYT, RCA, CLC.

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual—but emotional resilience can be learned.

In this workshop, you’ll discover how to better understand your own emotional patterns while gaining simple, practical tools to support your child through big feelings. We’ll explore how the nervous system shapes behavior, how to respond (instead of react) in challenging moments, and how to create a sense of emotional safety that helps your child grow into a confident, resilient human. Come as you are—overwhelmed, curious, or somewhere in between—and leave with insights and tools you can use right away.

Katherine Kozioziemski is a Yoga & Somatic Therapist and founder of Yoga and Somatics, specializing in helping overwhelmed women find calm and resilience in mind and body. With over 25 years of experience, 3,000+ teaching hours, and a background in psychology and spirituality, she blends mindfulness, breath, and movement to support lasting emotional well-being. As a mom of three, she brings a grounded, real-life approach to navigating stress and cultivating balance.

This group is open to the community, so please spread the word. Sign up is required so we can plan accordingly and care for the children well during the time of training.
