🧐👩👧👦💙 It's Foster Care Tip Tuesday! Did you know that the Reasonable and Prudent Parenting Standard (RPPS) does not apply to foster children placed in a therapeutic foster environment? Per R21-6-306 Supervisory Responsibilities and R21-6-331 Requirements for Certification to Provide for Specialized Services, foster children placed in a therapeutic environment are required to have constant supervision. This means that if a foster parent cannot provide supervision, an alternative supervision plan must be developed and implemented, including situations such as walking to school, hanging out with friends, participating in events, or attending functions (regardless of the age of foster children). #FosterCareTipTuesday #FosterCare #ParentalSupervision #FosterParents #FosterChildrenNeedYou #BecomeaFosterParent #SpreadingThreadsClothingBank #FosteringDignityinSouthernArizonasFosterChildren

Helping Foster Dignity in Southern Arizona's Foster Children
About us
Spreading Threads Clothing Bank is a grassroots, 501 (c)(3) nonprofit clothing bank based in Tucson, Arizona, with the purpose of providing free clothing to youth in foster care in Pima County and Southern Arizona. Launched in 2018, Spreading Threads Clothing Bank was founded by Michele Wright and Michele Bennett, two women who have fostered and adopted several children in Southern Arizona. Wright and Bennett began Spreading Threads after the State of Arizona cut benefits to foster children and their foster families. The two women saw a need to give foster children some dignity and wanted them to feel good in their own skin. With new, clean clothes, shoes, and school supplies, foster children can attend school feeling like they have a more level playing field. Since its inception, Spreading Threads has assisted thousands of children and families in Pima County and Southern Arizona with obtaining the clothing and supplies needed for day-to-day living as well as for school, church, and special events. They have performed countless emergency pulls, day and night, for children who have entered the foster care system with little to nothing in terms of clothing, school supplies, books and toys. Our mission is to provide gently used and new clothes and items to foster, foster/adoptive, and kinship families in southern Arizona in order to decrease their financial burden and provide clothes that children feel good wearing.

😯🐕🧡 Did you know that there is a strong correlation between animal abuse cases and domestic abuse cases? The National Resource Center on The Link between Animal Abuse and Human Violence shares a variety of statistics relating to the shocking connection including one statement on how "abusing pets is one of the most significant markers of those most at risk of becoming batterers". "When animals are abused, people are at risk; when people are abused, animals are at risk," says the National Link Coalition. You can help prevent this cycle of violence by assuring you take care of your pets, especially during the summer months. #DomesticAbuse #AnimalAbuse #TheCycleofViolence #NationalLinkCoalition #FosterCare #FosterChildren #SpreadingThreadsClothingBank #FosteringDignityinSouthernArizonasFosterChildren

🤔 👨👩👧 💚 The thought of fostering children older than elementary age can be scary as the typical teen hormones and trauma can be an intimidating combination, but even with the extra care that these kiddos need, teens are the best age range to foster! Why? You can provide family dinners for a teen who has never had them. Teens sleep through the night (and sometimes half the morning). You can provide a home to come back to after teens go to college. Teens will let you know when your old clothes are back in style. Less time on the phone with tech support; your teens can help with your I.T. issues. You won’t have to read teens the same book fifteen times every night. You won’t have to guess what they need as they can tell you themselves. One of DCS's major goals for 2024 is to decrease the number of youth in congregate care to no more than 10%, meaning we need family foster homes for 644 youth. The quickest, easiest, and most successful way to do this is for our current licensed foster families to open up their age range to include older youth. Interested in fostering teens? Reach out to your licensing agency to get started on a license amendment! #FosterTeenagers #TeensRock #SupportTeenFosterChildren #MakeaDifference #FosterChildrenNeedYou #BecomeaFosterParent #SpreadingThreadsClothingBank #FosteringDignityinSouthernArizonasFosterChildren
