SUMMARY:Foster Care and Adoption Education Classes – Hybrid
DESCRIPTION:This education option is the balance between the in-person and online options. It is best suited for individuals who want to move swiftly and prefer a blended learning style. \nYour education will begin with an online pre-test as well as introductory and a guest speaker section of online learning. This can be completed at your convenience prior to the one required live session. The live session is a shorter\, in-person day of learning. Following the in-person session\, you will finish by viewing content from two more guest speakers\, closing online material\, and a post-test.

SUMMARY:Hope in the Age of Artificial Everything
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we live\, learn\, and lead\, making human-centered leadership skills more essential than ever. Dr. Julia Garcia integrates psychological insight\, cultural innovation\, and lived community impact to help leaders strengthen the human capacities technology cannot replicate.\nDrawing from experience supporting over a million people through cultural and mental health challenges\, partnering with hundreds of schools\, organizations\, and communities\, and building award-winning tools used around the world\, Dr. Garcia delivers a high-energy conversation grounded in real-world insight. She equips us with the mental habits that fuel clear thinking\, courageous communication\, and meaningful connection in a rapidly shifting landscape. \nIn a time when AI can mimic almost anything\, Dr. Garcia gives audiences what technology cannot: real activation. Through live interaction\, courageous conversations\, and behavioral-science-backed exercises\, she interrupts the habits that cause people to hold back and helps them build the ones that move cultures forward. Participants do not just learn the habits of hope. They practice them in real time.\nA psychologist\, cultural technologist\, and spoken-word storyteller\, Dr. Garcia blends science\, story\, and strategy to create an experience that leaves audiences not just informed\, but deeply engaged\, aligned\, and more human together.  This presentation draws from her new book\, The 5 Habits of Hope (HarperCollins)\, a practical\, research-backed framework for strengthening the mental habits that expand human capacity and community connection. \nLearning Outcomes: \nStrengthen the human skills that drive clarity\, collaboration\, and meaningful connection. \nBuild cultures where trust and purpose guide the people who carry out the mission across leadership teams\, classrooms\, and communities. \nReduce burnout and disconnection through evidence-based mental habits that improve communication\, problem-solving\, and adaptability.

SUMMARY:W.I.S.E. Up! Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an encouraging evening of connection\, skill-building and practice.\nWho: Children grades 3-6 who are in foster care or have been adopted through any program\, and their parents \nWhen: Monday\, October 19\, 2026\, 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. \nWhere: Children’s Home; 1605 Eustis Street\, St. Paul\, MN 55108 \nW.I.S.E. Up!® is an empowerment program designed to help children in adoptive\, foster and kinship families respond to curious\, intrusive or insensitive questions with confidence. This event is made possible by the Minnesota Department of Children\, Youth\, and Families Permanency Support Service grant. \n“Why don’t you look like your parents?” \n“How much did you cost?” \n“Where are your real parents?” \nChildren often hear questions like these from classmates\, peers and adults. W.I.S.E. Up! gives kids practical language and simple strategies to decide when to walk away\, avoid the question\, share selectively or educate others — while staying in control of their own story. \nYouth and parents/caregivers will enjoy separate pizza dinners and interactive workshops\, then come together at the end to demonstrate and practice W.I.S.E. Up! scenarios in a supportive setting.
