👨‍👩‍👧‍👦📦 Foster Care Parenting Tip: Help foster children adjust during a big move with small, supportive actions.

Moving can be overwhelming for any child, but foster children may experience these transitions more often and with added emotional stress. New homes, schools, routines, and environments can bring feelings of anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty. Here are a few ways to help foster children cope with a move:

~ Show photos of the new home, school, or neighborhood beforehand to help them know what to expect.
~ Encourage them to talk openly about their feelings, questions, or worries.
~ Let them help pack their belongings or decorate moving boxes to create a sense of involvement and control.
~ Keep routines as consistent as possible during the transition.
~ Help them stay connected to supportive relationships when appropriate.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦📊 Foster Care Statistic: In Arizona, approximately 58 percent of children in foster care are placed in kinship care with relatives.

Kinship placements can help provide children with a greater sense of familiarity during a difficult time. Being cared for by relatives may help foster children maintain important relationships and cultural connections

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊ Celebrate Pride Month with Spreading Threads Clothing Bank.

Throughout June, Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQIA community. The entire month of June is a time to remember those who paved the way for the LGBTQA community and those who continue to rally for the community.

Many LGBTQIA youth have additional trauma from being rejected or mistreated because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. About 30 percent of youth in foster care identify as LGBTQIA; therefore, it is important to honor all gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations this June.
