Fostering Wishes’ Post

The primary goal when a child cannot safely remain with their parents and needs to enter foster care is always to reunify them with their family. This June, we’re recognizing National Reunification Month, which highlights ongoing efforts to keep families together and help them stay healthy and strong. Every child belongs in a healthy, loving family. No other environment is better suited for delivering the safety, stability, and care that is so vitally important to a child’s wellbeing. And you can help—click the link below to see how you can help meet practical needs to help reunify families in your area. 📲🖱️💻🧡🫶🏼🫶🏽🫶🏿 https://lnkd.in/e38bJwgp - #CarePortal #CareTogether #CareSharing #CareSharingTechnology #Nonprofit #CommunitySupport #SocialGood #Charity #Volunteer #SupportLocal #CommunityOutreach #FamilyFirst #FosterCare #CommunityHeroes #FamilyPreservation #GiveBack #InItTogether #ChangeMakers #ActsOfKindness #StrongerTogether #HopeForAll #SupportFamilies #YouthEmpowerment

7:2 - Did you know? On average, children in care move SEVEN times in TWO years. Children in foster care are constantly being uprooted, further increasing their trauma. They are not able to thrive -academically, mentally, or relationally - when they’re simply trying to survive. The only way to heal trauma is through consistent, healthy relationships. They’re essential to the outcomes for that one child, and they’re essential to the outcome of our community. Could you be that healthy grown-up in a child's life?
