๐ŸŽ‰ Five years ago, California set out to transform how we support current and former foster youth and caregivers.

Today, weโ€™re proud to celebrate a major milestone: more than 24,000 services delivered statewide, helping preserve relationships and prevent crises before they start.
Thank you to our dedicated team, local county partners, and the amazing youth and caregivers who trust us every day.

Hereโ€™s to another 5 years of showing up whenever you need us!

๐Ÿ’™ Monday Motivation ๐Ÿ’™

Courage isnโ€™t always loud. Sometimes, itโ€™s simply choosing to keep going, giving yourself grace, and believing that tomorrow is another chance to try. ๐ŸŒฑโœจ

Whatever today brings, remember that progress doesnโ€™t have to happen all at once. Take it one step, one day, and one moment at a time. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’™ Did you know FURS is free to use?

Support should be there when you need itโ€”and you never have to worry about a cost. Family Urgent Response System provides free, confidential support 24/7 for current and former foster youth and caregivers across California.

Whether you need someone to listen, help navigating a challenge, or in-person support, weโ€™re here for you. ๐Ÿซถ

๐Ÿ’™ Knowing your rights is important. Knowing what to do when those rights are violated is just as important.

Weโ€™ve been sharing information about foster youth rightsโ€”but what happens when you feel those rights arenโ€™t being respected?

Foster youth have people and resources they can turn to for support and guidance. The Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) of the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) can help address concerns about licensed care settings.

And if you need someone to talk to, help navigating a difficult situation, or immediate support, Family Urgent Response System is here 24/7. ๐Ÿซถ

You deserve to know your rightsโ€”and you donโ€™t have to navigate concerns about them alone.

๐Ÿ’™ Self-Care Doesnโ€™t End Here

As Self-Care Awareness Month comes to a close, letโ€™s remember that caring for yourself is important every dayโ€”not just this month. ๐ŸŒฑโœจ

Self-care doesnโ€™t have to be complicated. Stretch, take a screen break, spend a few minutes outside, journal, enjoy a creative activity, or simply give yourself permission to rest. ๐Ÿซถ

Find what helps you recharge, and make space for it whenever you can. Be kind to yourself today and keep that focus going all year long. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’™ Monday Motivation ๐Ÿ’™

We all have 24 hours in a day. The key is deciding what matters most and giving your time and energy to what moves you forward. โฐโœจ

Set your direction, focus on your priorities, and take one step at a time. You donโ€™t have to do everything, just make time for what matters. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’™
