Several of our resource families participated in piloted training sessions and provided valuable feedback. This collaboration aims to enhance training programs for resource families nationwide. #ResourceFamilies #Trainings #Permanency

We would like to extend our immense gratitude to Sutter Health for sponsoring our Back-to-School Initiative. Every year, thanks to Sutter Health's support, we can supply local kids and teens with school supplies to help them excel in school. For the upcoming school year, we have distributed over 1,200 backpacks to young people in our local communities. #SutterHealth #Thankyou #BacktoSchool

Many of the youth, we serve are in kinship care, meaning they are placed with relatives, or non-relative extended family members (NREFMs) who already have an established relationship with the youth or the youth‘s family. If you are one of these kinship families, we extend a huge thank you to you for taking on the responsibility of providing effective care for youth every day!
