Why attend the FAM Basics Clinic?

We want to support you in the work you are already doing and equip you with the tools and resources to continue to grow in the ways you serve vulnerable children and families.

This live 1.5 hour webinar is ideal for all levels of engagement. Whether you’re looking for new resources, acting as the Point Person at your church for meeting physical needs through CarePortal, or leading support groups for foster families, this webinar will support you in the work of serving vulnerable children and families.

What is FAM Basics?

In this introductory course, you will learn the essentials of engaging your church in caring for vulnerable kids and families. No matter the size of your church and no matter how you plan to engage, you will benefit from learning the best practices of the model called Family Advocacy Ministries (FAMs).

Registration for the FAM Basics Clinic includes a handbook and access to more than 50 resources. During the Clinic, we will cover the following key topics with best practices:

• Creating a Focus
• Communicating with Church Staff
• Intro to Trauma for Churches
• Child Welfare & Foster Care Basics
• Awareness Strategy & Activities
• Basics of Serving Vulnerable Families
• Recruiting Volunteers

We hope you’ll join us for the next FAM Basics Clinic!
