When a child enters foster care, they don't stop loving their family - that's why birth family engagement matters.When it's safe and appropriate, helping children maintain healthy family connections can reduce trauma, strengthen relationships, and support successful reunification.Healing doesn't happen in isolation. It happens through connection, support, and the people willing to do the hard work alongside a child and their family.That's one of the ways we #ShowUpForKids.Thanks to our wonderful supporters, Gerry & Sondra Biller, all donations are matched 1:1! That means your impact will go even further this summer! Make a gift at the link in our bio đź”—#AllStarChildren #Healing #Family #FosterCare
