Governor Justice, We need to keep the group homes open. Our group homes make better communities for our future generations. We are only as strong as our youth. Stepping Stones provides support, love, care, shelter, food and clothing for our kids. The staff inspire hope care and love. Stepping stones teaches life skills like planting and growing food and managing finances. Eliminating group homes will create more hardship for our community and youth. The youth will have even less opportunities to live meaningful productive lives for our future society. Wouldn't you want to leave behind a legacy that inspires West Virginians to care for the orphans and the displaced? Wouldn't you want to leave a legacy of inspiring our offspring to care for those who cannot care for themselves? Eradicating group homes will cause societal problems for generations to come. Do the right thing and keep our group homes open and support them financially. A concerned counselor, teacher, mother, Linda Goad #mentalhealth #youth #society #foster https://lnkd.in/e6PKxDHC

August is Child Support Awareness Month! 🌟 As we take this time to celebrate and support the incredible work of child support professionals across the nation, it’s important to remember the profound impact of these programs. In FY23 alone, state and tribal programs collected a staggering $29.6 billion, benefiting 12.7 million children across the U.S. That’s 1 in 5 children! 🙌 The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) is not just about financial support; it's about uplifting entire families. From employment programs to fatherhood initiatives and reentry partnerships, OCSS is committed to helping parents provide a brighter future for their children. 💼👨👩👧👦 This year, we're also excited to see new regulations that fully fund tribal child support programs and support states during emergencies. These changes are vital in ensuring every child receives the support they need, regardless of the challenges their families face. Let’s spread the word and raise awareness about the importance of child support services. Together, we can help children and families thrive. 💛 Credit: Tanguler Gray, Commissioner, Office of Child Support Services #children #brightfuture #employmentprograms #entirefamily #helpingparents #office #awareness #program #support#impact #professional #family #childsupportawareness #supportservices

Today, we pause to honor the children who never returned home from residential schools, the survivors who carry their stories, and the generations who still bear the weight of this history. As a proud Indigenous Mayan mama, this day holds deep significance for me, not only as a moment of collective remembrance but also as part of my own reclamation journey—a journey I’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of. I am committed to having conversations with my children about what this day represents—the pain, the injustice, and the intergenerational trauma caused by the residential school system. These are not easy conversations, but they are vital in honoring the truth of our shared history and ensuring that future generations grow up with a deep respect for Indigenous cultures and stories. As non-Indigenous people and settlers, there’s a responsibility to reflect on the harm caused by colonialism and how it continues to impact Indigenous communities today. It’s time to challenge and decolonize the ways we think, live, and teach our children, remembering who we are, what we stand for, and what we’re meant to do in the world. This day is more than a reflection—it’s a call to action. As parents, raising children with empathy, awareness, and a commitment to justice is essential. Together, we can create a future where Indigenous voices, stories, and wisdom are valued and uplifted, not erased or forgotten. • Wear orange to honor residential school survivors and raise awareness. • Have important conversations with your children and community about Canada’s history and the ongoing effects of colonialism. • Support Indigenous-led organizations and initiatives. • Engage with Indigenous voices and stories through books, films, and events. The path to healing and reclamation is long, but by standing together—Indigenous and non-Indigenous—we can walk it with intention, empathy, and commitment. Let’s be the generation that builds a future rooted in truth and respect, for the sake of all our children.

🌟 Celebrating Children’s Week 2024 🌟 This year’s theme, based on Article 24 of the United NationsConvention on the Rights of the Child, highlights the importance of a clean and safe environment for every child’s health and wellbeing. At ARACY, we believe that creating such an environment is essential for children to feel valued, loved, and safe, one of the six key domains of The Nest framework. When children feel secure in their surroundings—where their health is cared for, their voices are heard, and they are cherished—they have the foundation to thrive. Children’s Week is an opportunity for us to celebrate this, while advocating for every child's right to grow up in a world where they are supported, protected, and empowered to reach their full potential. Join ARACY as we continue to work toward a future where all children are nurtured in environments that allow them to feel safe, loved, and able to flourish.
