Free Remote Discussion Group for Adoptive, Foster and Kinship Parents Raising Children of a Different Race or Culture

DISCUSSION: Parenting During this Racially Charged Time

With the recent Covid 19 crisis, assaults against the Asian and Asian American community have increased significantly on a local and national level. This is an important opportunity to talk to our kids about race and racism, especially for those who have trans-racially adopted children of Asian descent.  How can we help support them?
 
Sarah Gotowka is a family support specialist, adopted from Korea who has been leading a trans-racial adoption support group in Tompkins county for the past two years. Please join her as we strategize on how to support your kid/kids/family with racism, and how we can support them in this time of crisis.

For more information contact Sarah at sarah@affcny.org or at 607-272-0034.
