As we head towards the end of National Foster Care Month, we want to recognize and thank you for your outstanding work in supporting kids in care and the fantastic foster families who welcome them into their homes. Think back to your initial training when you started as a Foster Care Coordinator. You learned about placement requirements, the importance of permanency, and how to build trusting relationships with your foster families. You soaked up information regarding requirements for case practice with American Indian Tribes, confirming safe environments, CANS training, and much more. In your current professional life, you continue to learn about education advocacy, trauma responses, and specific licensing topics such as rehabilitative review and background checks. And to top that all off, you continue to recruit foster families while also focusing on the needs of the families you are currently working with.
We wish that you feel as supported by us as your families and children feel supported by you. As the Coalition tagline states, “Every child needs a champion. Every champion needs support.” You are a champion, and we are here to offer our sincere appreciation for all you do and want to assist you however we can. In addition to fielding calls for those interested in fostering and sending them on their way to you, we also look forward to receiving calls or emails when you need assistance. Perhaps you have a family who needs support regarding food hoarding or a family who wants to learn more about LGBTQ+ issues. Maybe you are licensing relative caregivers who need help regarding school issues or changing family dynamics. Take a look at our video for workers for a reminder of how we can help.
Once more, thank you. Please send us an email at info@coalitionforcyf.org or give us a call at 414-475-1246. We look forward to helping you!
