Following the in-person session\, you will finish by viewing content from two more guest speakers\, closing online material\, and a post-test.

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.
