When raising a child of a different race or ethnic background, adoptive and foster parents may need extra help to help the children learn how to address racism and develop a strong sense of their own identity. Since our founding more than 40 years ago, Families Rising has been dedicated to helping families understand that race matters and parents and young people can help others learn to better address issues of race culture.
Families Rising offers training for parent and professionals on transracial parenting. If you are an agency staff member or leader of a parent support organization, we encourage you to learn more about our transracial training.
