All parents are welcome to join us while Youth Hangout Community Group runs simultaneously!

WHEN: Scheduled to meet monthly on the 4th Thursday from 6:30 to 7:30 PM

WHERE: In person at Steele Memorial Library located at 101 East Church Street in Elmira

We’re thrilled to announce the return of our in-person Central New York  support groups for adoptive, foster, and kinship caregivers, facilitated by CNY AGAPE staff. Each facilitator brings their own lens of lived experience (foster parent, adoptive parent, adult adoptee). 

Join us for our monthly Central New York Caregiver Connection LIVE Chemung County group, where we’ll delve into crucial topics such as:

  • understanding our children’s behaviors
  • fostering parental resilience
  • tackling school challenges
  • addressing social and emotional hurdles
  • exploring therapeutic versus traditional parenting approaches

We welcome all parents and caregivers seeking a compassionate and understanding community to connect, share, and grow together!

What to Expect: The youth hangout community group and the parent group are both held at the same time and place, so parents and kids can both get the support they need! We can’t wait to see you!
