It’s time to face the truth: we must end the need for foster care as we know it. What was once a modern remedy is no longer the right solution.

We have not and will not foster care our way out of neglect and abuse. We have not and will not foster care our way to thriving children and families.

Right now, children in your community are entering foster care and being removed from their parents, their siblings, their friends, and their schools—resulting in trauma to all involved.

But what if we were able to provide support for a family at the first sign of trouble, instead of waiting for a life-altering crisis? What if we could keep more children OUT of the foster care system in the first place?
