During National Foster Care Month, we focus on ways the child welfare system can strengthen relative and kin connections and the positive impact these relationships have on maintaining family and cultural ties for children and youth in foster care.
National Foster Care Month
May is National Foster Care Month (NFCM). ACF's Children's Bureau's leads the NFCM campaign which recognizes the important role that members from all parts of child welfare play in supporting children, youth, and families. This year's theme, Relative and Kin Connections: Keeping Families Strong, focuses on strengthening relative and kin connections and the positive impact these relationships have on maintaining family and cultural ties for children and youth in foster care. This National Foster Care Month, let's celebrate and give thanks to the family members who opened their homes to the children in their family when they were needed most.
