There are many reasons to support kinship care, but the reasons that matter most are the ones shared with us by families. In our recently released video on kinship care, the voices of those impacted by family separation are key.

Wanting the best for children and families knows no borders. 🌏 Foster America, The Kempe Center, and University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus recently welcomed child welfare leaders from Japan for a cross-cultural exchange on child welfare. Collaborations like these reinforce a shared commitment to ensuring families have access to the support they need before child welfare involvement becomes necessary. https://lnkd.in/gjg44-yS
