Mental health is part of the whole picture 🧠💜

Children and families involved with child welfare may be navigating grief, trauma, transition, stress, and uncertainty. Supporting mental well-being means listening, building connections, recognizing strengths, and helping families access the support they need.

It also means remembering that the professionals doing this work need support, too.
