Children from foster families have often experienced loss, abuse, and the fear of being left alone again. Even in a loving family, they find it hard to trust, ask for help, and cope with anxiety and anger. Parents also need support: they face distrust, outbursts of aggression, boundary testing, and feelings of helplessness. Without help, trauma can hinder attachment and adaptation.
We are launching a fundraiser for support groups for foster children and their new parents. In children's groups, a psychologist uses play to help kids process fears, recognize emotions, negotiate, and ask for support. In parent groups, foster moms and dads receive practical tools, guidance on difficult situations, and nonjudgmental support. Joint meetings strengthen attachment, reduce tension, and help families solve problems before they become crises.
Support our fundraiser—your help gives children and parents the chance to become a truly loving family.
