Family In Progress
At Family Enrichment Center we have a mission to Empower Families and Prevent Child Abuse. Family Enrichment Center's Adoption Resource Program was created to build on the strengths and meet the needs of current and prospective foster and adoptive families. Our vision is all about Adoption, Fostering, family support, and everything in between. Whether you’re already an adoptive/foster parent, you’re exploring and looking into being one, or you're looking for ways to support someone who is on this journey - there’s something here for you. This is a really casual podcast where we provide support and encouragement- or at least that’s the goal. The episodes will be a mix of parenting, education, and then guest interviews of community members as they share their journey of adoption/fostering. We hope to make you laugh, relax, and most of all fall in love with parenting, adoption and fostering all over again or for the first time. Visit our website (https://www.familyenrichmentcenter.com/podcast) for podcast information and to submit your episode ideas or questions. Remember to subscribe now from wherever you get your podcasts to get notified on all the latest releases. We want to live in a world where we honor the families in progress.

Self Care, Who Has Time For That?
In this episode Melanie Watts is back! Join host Samantha as she chats with Melanie about what self care is and why Foster Parents need it so badly. We're ditching "mom guilt" and learning how to take care of ourselves so we can be the best version for those we are trying to love.
May is Foster Care Awareness Month AND Mental Health Awareness Month and that's no coincidence. It's easy to forget that we need to take care of ourselves and with the stigma that still surrounds mental health, sometimes it's hard to ask for help.
Foster, Adoptive, Biological- PARENT, this is a shout out to you and your sign to start taking care of yourself.
