Becoming a foster parent is not an easy decision. It takes a village to help a child, and foster families play a critical role in providing a safe and loving place for children along their journey. #FosterFamilyWeek
Foster parents make our communities a better place. Ontario benefits from every child that has had a foster parent help, support and believe in them. #ThankYouFosterParents for the work you do every day. #FosterFamilyWeek

All children and youth deserve to receive supports they need to succeed and thrive. Ontario is redesigning the child welfare system to focus on promoting family-based placements like foster care & developing lifelong connections and supports for children and youth.

Thank you @ChildrenON for sharing the voice of our amazing foster parents in #WaterlooRegion for #FosterFamilyWeek
Foster care can provide children and youth with a safe family setting during a time of crisis. Caregivers care for children and youth as part of a team that includes children’s aid societies, community partners and the child or youth’s family. #FosterFamilyWeek

There is a lot of scary and overwhelming information to take in during this pandemic. But there is also a lot of good still happening. Focus on those stories of people giving, donating, and supporting one another in miraculous ways. Is there one story that stood out to you?

When someone is in an abusive relationship, it can be very difficult to know what you can do to support them. Following the BLOSSOM method can help you to support a friend or family member, especially if they're not quite ready to leave the relationship. novavita.org/how-to-support-…
