Foster care can feel very heavy at times, so Families 4 Families sponsors quarterly family fun days for families to get a break from some of the challenges for a few hours and just enjoy being together and being with other foster families who deal with similar issues. Some activities we've done in the past are trampoline parks, indoor and outdoor pool days, and the laser show at Stone Mountain.

Families 4 Families offers monthly date nights for our foster families so that the parents can drop their foster and biological children off and have three to four hours to themselves for a date.

CEU
Per state policy, all foster parents are required to earn 15 hours of continuing education per year in order to maintain their foster home license. At least 5 of these hours have to be earned in person. We offer monthly opportunities to earn CEU hours and strive to offer topics that will better equip our foster parents to do the challenging work of caring for children from hard places. We also usually offer childcare for these events. We want to make it as easy and convenient as possible for our families to earn the hours they need.
