To create real change, we must prioritize those directly impacted. 🔑 Listen to the voices of lived experience. 🔄 Replace broken systems with ones that truly support families. 🌱 Amplify these stories because transformation begins with empathy and understanding. The perspectives shared in Families Belong Together: A Call to Replace the Child Welfare System show that the only way forward is to replace what is broken with something truly supportive of families.

It's okay not to be okay! Meaningfully addressing mental health challenges requires intervention in every policy and across all sectors, including health, education, child protection, social welfare, justice, sports, and beyond. https://bit.ly/48guNR7 #OnMyMind #WMHD #WMHD2024

🌟 Finding Purpose in Recovery 🌟   SAMHSA’s third dimension of #recovery is purpose.

They connect with parents, helping them navigate challenging systems while offering the hope and inspiration crucial to achieving and sustaining recovery. 🌈   Together, we can build a brighter future. ✨ #RecoveryMonth2024 #recoverymonth #purpose #ChildrenandFamilyFutures #CFF

Reflecting on their experience with child welfare services, they draw parallels with stories from a local news article and a Netflix documentary. They emphasize the profound impact of trauma and neglect on children, stating, "when you are brought up in a world where you feel like no one cares about you, you not only don’t care about others but you don’t know how to care about others." They advocate for unconditional love and support for children, despite the challenges they may present.  https://lnkd.in/gQC-ypVs

Implementing trauma-informed policies and systems within child welfare is crucial for creating supportive and healing environments for vulnerable children and families affected by trauma. This approach shifts the focus from asking "What's wrong with you?" to understanding "What happened to you?", emphasizing safety, trust, and empowerment. Key elements include comprehensive training, safe environments, collaboration, individualized approaches, and policy integration. Though challenges like resistance to change and resource allocation exist, the benefits include improved outcomes, a preventative approach, and promoting cultural sensitivity and equity. Ultimately, trauma-informed policies pave the way for more compassionate and effective services, fostering resilience and empowering individuals to overcome adversity. #BYEFoundation #TraumaInformedCare
