ThriveSupport Groups
Thrive support groups started in 2018 as a way to meet the needs of the foster and adoption community in Charlottesville and surrounding counties.
Since that time, we have expanded to include support groups for families parenting children with disabilities.
Find your community
Adoption & Foster Care
Our foster care and adoption support group meets twice a month on Sunday afternoons from 4-6pm, with dinner and childcare provided for ages 0-12.
Our goal is to offer a safe, nurturing environment for both parents and children, in which they can come as they are, engage in community, and find a place of rest for a short period of time.
Please note: our groups are currently full, and we are unable to take any new intakes at this time. Please check back here for updates!
Children with Disabilities
Our support group for parents of children with disabilities meets every other week, with both in-person and virtual options. All parents are welcome regardless of the diagnosis, severity, or need of their child.
We strive to offer a community in which families feel safe to share the highs and lows of what this journey means. More than anything, we want you to know that you are not alone.
