If this message hit home….you’re not alone.

So many of us entered this work to connect, to care, to make a real difference. But somewhere along the way, the systems we work started to make that harder.

Dandelion's virtual, Relational Practice Cohort was created to address that exact tension.

• A space to reconnect with your “why”
• A small, supportive community of fellow professionals
• A chance to practice staying human in the work that matters most

If you’ve been craving something different, something more aligned or real, we’d love to have you. Our 8 session program meets online, with the first session on May 13th.

✨ Apply now to join the cohort: https://www.dandelion-family.com/event-list

It’s time to move away from problem solving and return to connection. If you are a case manager, social worker, or provider looking for a safe space to practice true, person-centered care despite the limitations of the system, we built this for you!

Our new Professional Cohorts are closed, virtual experiential groups where we practice moving from "Power-Over" to "Power-With." We explore what gets in our way, how to manage our own discomfort, and how to show up humanly for the families we serve.

Join us for the 8-week program online, Wednesdays 11:30am-12:30pm CT. Our first session starts on May 13. Visit https://www.dandelion-family.com/event-details to learn more and sign up!

There’s no right or wrong answer, it's an invitation to pause, notice, and gently reflect on your connection with your child.

✍️ Reflect in your journal, notes app, or just in your heart.

Did you get into human services to connect with people, only to find yourself trapped by rigid timelines and cookie cutter compliance? You aren't alone.

When the system forces us to prioritize outcomes over humanity, it leads to deep moral injury. You might not be able to change the entire system, but you can change how you show up within it.

Join Dandelion’s Relational Practice Cohort. It's a closed, experiential group for professionals who want to reconnect to their "why," practice authentic connection, and feel good about their work again.

WOW....what an incredible couple of days it has been. It was an honor to give two presentations at the MSSA (Minnesota Social Service Association) Annual Conference & Expo!

Sending huge “thank you’s” to our team, community caregiver panelists, conference organizers, and the audiences who allowed us to create an atmosphere of reflection and meaningful dialogue.

Leaving with full hearts today!

Wondering why nothing has been working?

When your child is stressed, overwhelmed or scared, they can’t process information or learn well. They either want to shut down, run away or fight. Programs that attempt to fix these behaviors without first growing their capacity to manage their emotions and their bodies through safe relationships will fail every time.

Dandelion can help you create real change. Visit dandelion-family.com to reach out today.

This week, Dandelion Neurorelational Family Services will be presenting at the Minnesota Social Service Association Annual Conference & Expo!

On March 12 & 13, a few of our Dandelion team members, led by owner Sara Sherman, will present “Unleashing Authentic Voices: Consumers Speak on Professional Practice.”

Alongside the team, three Dandelion community caregivers will join as panelists, bringing lived experience into the room in a way that invites reflection, honesty, and deeper understanding.

The conversation will explore themes like:
• What person-centered care really looks like in practice
• The power dynamics that shape provider–family relationships
• The tension between system expectations and human connection
• How authenticity, humility, and curiosity can shift professional practice

This session is designed to create space for listening, reflection, and meaningful dialogue about how we show up for the families we serve.

If you’re attending , we hope you’ll join us!
