The Gathering: Without Children's Programming

Foster, Adoptive, and Relative/Non-Relative Caregiver Families, as well as professionals and anyone working with vulnerable children, join us each month (typically the 2nd Monday) from 6-8pm for a hope-filled, topically-based training from leading child well-being experts. Examples of topics include:

• Understanding Trauma
• Healthy Attachment
• Triggers
• And much more

A light dinner is served and children's programming is available. Volunteers are background screened and trauma-informed.

RSVP is required

This program is free but a $10/family donation is appreciated and will help us cover the cost of food and childcare.

Event is 6-8pm at  West Bradenton Baptist Church.  Located at: 1305 43rd St W, Bradenton 34209

This is the registration for The Gathering Event if you DO need CHILDCARE services.

Registration for The Gathering has changed!  We will now be accepting applications for The Gathering and letting families who requested childcare know by May 6th if we have childcare spots available. This is to allow for BaL to understand geographical demand and gain an understanding of families who are not being reached with training.

Please note - when you apply for childcare at The Gathering, you are not guaranteed a spot. You will be contacted by May 6th to confirm your registration status.
