We want to take a moment during May, National Foster Care Month, to thank all foster care caregivers for their unwavering dedication and support. We also recognize the vital partnership between caregivers and caseworkers —working side by side to guide, support, and strengthen families throughout their journey. Their compassion helps children and families heal, grow, and reunite. One family shared, “My caseworker Ms. Essence Destin is the best caseworker I ever had. She helped bring my children home—without her, I wouldn’t be able to get through it. At first, I was mad at the world because my children left me. As she worked with me, she really connected about how I was feeling having the children back in the home.” Your commitment makes a lasting impact—thank you for everything you do. Foster caregivers provide families with vital support as they work toward reunification. You can be part of this life-changing journey—become a foster caregiver today: https://www.brightpoint.org/strong-families/child-welfare/foster-care/become-a-foster-parent/ #FosterCareMonth #ThankYouCaregivers #FamilyHealing #ChildWelfareMatters #BecomeAFosterParent (fb)
