Today, on World Mental Health Day, we recognize the importance of mental health and the role it plays in our overall well-being.

Mental health affects how we think, feel, connect with others and navigate life's challenges.

By encouraging open conversations, reducing stigma and supporting one another, we can help create communities where everyone feels seen, valued and supported. 💜

Foster care is often misunderstood. Many people assume they have to be perfect, have all the answers or completely change their lives to make a difference.

The truth is that children need caring, committed adults who are willing to show up, provide support and help them navigate a challenging season of life.

This Foster Care Awareness series highlights a few things we wish more people knew about foster care and the incredible role foster families play in helping children feel safe, supported and connected.

During FY 2026, 46.1% of all placements in Region 3 were kinship placements, allowing children to remain connected to relatives or trusted family friends when they could not safely remain at home.

Kinship caregivers play a vital role in providing stability, preserving family relationships and helping children maintain connections to their communities, culture and support systems.

We are grateful for the caregivers who step forward to provide safe, nurturing homes and help children thrive. 💜

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up with the love, stability and connection of a permanent family.

Through collaboration, perseverance and a shared commitment to permanency, two sisters who were living in a Residential Treatment Center are now preparing to begin a new chapter with their forever family.

From the Bring Us Home Campaign to identifying the right foster and adoptive placement, countless individuals worked together to help ensure the sisters could remain together throughout their journey.

This story is a powerful reminder of what's possible when partners unite around a common goal: helping children achieve the permanency they deserve.

This Kinship Care Month, we recognize the grandparents, relatives and family friends who step up when children need them most. 💜

Kinship caregivers provide more than a place to stay. They offer stability, familiarity and connection during times of uncertainty. By keeping children connected to family, culture and community, they help create a strong foundation for healing, growth and belonging.

We are grateful for the kinship caregivers who open their hearts and homes, providing love, support and permanency when it matters most.
