The Lived Experience Circle: A Community for TAC Professionals with Personal Connections to Adoption, Foster, and Kinship Care

Our next Lived Experience Circle group meeting will take place on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, 1:00 PM Eastern | 12:00 PM Central | 11:00 AM Mountain | 10:00 AM Pacific

Our next reflective practice group meeting will focus on "Holding Lived Experience Stories and Perspectives.” 

This monthly interest group is for TAC-trained professionals and led by Tac-trained professionals who are also members of the adoption kinship network. This group offers a private space to connect with others who truly understand what it means to live the story while supporting others through it. Whether you're an adoptee, former foster youth, birth parent, adoptive or kinship caregiver—or hold more than one of these roles—this is a space for reflection, mutual support, and shared learning. 

Together, we’ll explore how our personal histories shape our professional lives, deepen our empathy, and challenge us in ways others may not see. By holding space for ourselves and one another, we strengthen our ability to care for the children, families, and communities we serve. 

NOTE: This is a discussion group for TAC-trained professionals who are also members of the Association of TAC Professionals network, and is not a training event for CE credit. Signing up gives you access to all meetings, opportunities to examine TAC offerings, and we hope you can participate as much as your time and obligations will allow.
