APRIL 9, 2022 8:30AM- 3 PM

Welcome to the registration page for TN Kids Belong's first ever Foster Care Conference in Blount County. We're so glad you're here! Our target audience is prospective and active foster parents and those looking to support the Blount County foster community.

Right now, the need to recruit and support existing foster families is at an all-time high. TKB is hosting a conference to help bring awareness of the needs and support options. Attendees will hear from many of the organizations serving Blount County and participate in breakout sessions including topics such as trauma tips, building WRAP around teams for support, Foster Care 101, and Stewards of Children.

The goal is for attendees to leave feeling better equipped, supported, and connected to the resources in Blount County!

** Note: You do not have to live in Blount County to attend or learn! The process is similar across TN

Tennessee Kids Belong equips the community to dramatically improve the experience and outcomes for children in foster care. We are not a licensed foster care agency.
