Episode 44: You don't have to be a foster parent to help families...

The foster care system should not be the first or only place families find support. When families have help early, through neighbors, relatives, churches, community organizations, and basic-needs support, some crises can be reduced or avoided altogether. Helping families does not always require a formal title. Sometimes it starts with noticing a need and responding with care. Who in your circle, neighborhood, church, or community may need support before a crisis becomes system involvement?
