💙 Let’s talk resilience. 💙

Life can throw a lot at us.... Stress, challenges, unexpected hardships, and even trauma. Yet somehow, people still find ways to keep going, heal, and grow stronger.

✨ What helps YOU manage stress and function well during difficult times?

Maybe it’s:
💬 Talking to someone you trust
🙏 Faith or prayer
🏃 Exercise or movement
🎨 Hobbies or creativity
👨‍👩‍👧 Support from family and friends
🧘 Self care or quiet time
📚 Therapy or counseling

There’s no “right” answer, and your story could encourage someone else today. ❤️

🌸 It's Almost Spring Break 🌸

Spring break is a great time to relax, make memories, and spend time together as a family. If you're looking for free or low-cost things to do around the Fort Worth area , check out this link with local activities for kids and families!

👉https://fortworthreport.org/2025/03/08/looking-for-spring-break-activities-for-your-kids-check-these-out-in-fort-worth-arlington/

Some fun ideas around the area include:

🌳 Visiting local parks or the Trinity Trails
💧 Exploring the Fort Worth Water Gardens, a downtown urban park with waterfalls and pools
🌸 Walking through the Fort Worth Botanic Garden and enjoying the outdoor scenery
🎨 Participating in free art activities like Spring Break at the Carter Museum

💡 Spring Break Tip for Parents:
Mix fun with responsibility! Have kids complete one small chore each day before heading out for a fun activity.

Example:
✔ Clean room
✔ Help cook a meal
✔ Organize toys
✔ Help with laundry

Small responsibilities can help kids feel proud and involved while still enjoying their break.

We hope you and your family have a safe, fun and memorable Spring Break! ☀️

💝 Love looks a little different in kinship care, and it’s powerful!

This Valentine’s Day, we want to recognize the love, patience, and commitment shown every day by kinship caregivers. Stepping up for a child isn’t always easy, but it’s one of the most meaningful acts of love there is.

To all the grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and extended family members holding families together—we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you. 💞

💌 Free Valentine’s Activity for Kids:
Have kids make a “Hearts of Gratitude” chain 💖
• Cut out paper hearts
• On each heart, write or draw something they love or appreciate about their family
• Tape or staple the hearts together and hang them up

Simple, fun, and a great way to celebrate family love ❤️

Drop your favorite colored❤️ in the comments to show love to our caregivers!
