May is Foster Care Awareness Month, and being in foster care can be a traumatic experience for any child. You don’t have to be a foster parent, a CASA, or a volunteer to make a difference. Take a moment to find out how many kids are in care in your area and consider reaching out to a foster family to say thanks. Even just telling a friend or co-worker that you know how rough the situation can be for any child can make a difference. Let’s all be more aware and show our support for these children in need. #FosterCareAwarenessMonth #SupportFosterFamilies

In 2023, there were 1752 youth in custody in NM with only 1007 foster homes. We have kids living in office buildings. Youth are moving from shelter to shelter every 90 days. We have youth choosing to run away because that feels like the best option. How can we change education outcomes and break the foster care cycle when we are not able to figure out a place for the youth to live? #fostercare #fosteryouth #fosteryoutheducation #education https://lnkd.in/eYnjYxuK
