Building You 2026

Foster Parents and Kinship Caregivers spend so much of their time supporting others, meeting needs, solving problems and creating stability for the children in their care.

Building You is an opportunity to pause, breathe, reconnect with yourself and enjoy being cared for too.

Following the beautiful response to our first Building You event last year, Hearts and Mind is bringing the experience back with even more opportunities to create, learn, connect and recharge.

Your day will include:

• Design Your Own Tote Bag art and bonding experience

• Guided art therapy activity

• Menopause and wellness workshop

• Book reading and reflective conversation

• Henna design

• Beauty and self-care experiences

• A delicious meal

• Meaningful networking and community connection

• Resources, thoughtful surprises and special gift bags

Whether you come to learn something new, express your creativity, meet other caregivers or simply enjoy a well-deserved moment for yourself, there will be something meaningful for you.

Building You is a reminder that you matter beyond everything you do for others. You deserve opportunities to rest, create, laugh, learn and be surrounded by people who understand the caregiving journey.

Come as you are and leave feeling encouraged, connected and renewed.

Spaces are limited. Get your ticket today and join us for an unforgettable Building You experience.

We cannot wait to welcome you!
