BOOK CLUB: Reclaim Compassion: The Adoptive Parent’s Guide to Overcoming Blocked Care with Neuroscience and Faith

June 14, 2023 | 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

FREE

Are you in a space where you’d like to reclaim compassion in your parenting journey? Would you like to meet other adoptive parents seeking the same?

This summer, join Melissa Lebling, parent of 7 children, former foster parent, and adoptee, in reading and discussing Reclaim Compassion: The Adoptive Parent’s Guide to Overcoming Blocked Care with Neuroscience and Faith. The virtual* group will meet for 11 weekly sessions, corresponding to the 10 chapters of the book. NPAC asks that interested families commit to attending the majority of the 11 sessions to promote community and fellowship.

While this group plans to meet on Wednesday evenings, interested parents should contact Melissa directly to convey their interest if they would like to join, but that time does not work. It’s possible that the group will select another mutually agreeable time.

Purchase Reclaim Compassion: The Adoptive Parent’s Guide to Overcoming Blocked Care with Neuroscience and Faith Here. The first five families to register will receive a free copy of the book!

Registration: Email Melissa Lebling, mlebling@gmail.com
