📢Calling all birth parents! Your perspective is essential to helping us build a supportive, family-centered child well-being system. Join us for virtual sessions on May 9 or June 17 with Director Ashley Deckert so your voice can be heard. Register at forms.office.com/g/JSSxGxDP9
Attention Rhode Islanders! Do you have ideas on how we can improve health and well-being in your community? Please consider taking our Maternal and Child Health Needs Assessment Survey: surveymonkey.com/r/S96H5Q8
Have you considered #fostering youth in Rhode Island? Find us at #PawtucketFamilyYMCA #HealthyKidsDay on Saturday, April 20 at Daggett Farm in Slater Park to hear from other foster parents and DCYF staff.
Parents and caregivers of children with #autism need a deep tool box to support their child's needs. Add these skill-building videos from @autismspeaks to your list of tools. youtube.com/playlist?list=…
Connections between families, friends, neighbors, and community groups help improve our ability to offer supportive care to our children. Think about the other adults in your life. How well do you support each other? #ThrivingFamilies #FamilyFirstFriday #ChildAbusePreventionMonth
Have you heard of Kids' Link RI? If you are caring for a child or youth in emotional crisis, call 1-855-543-5465 to connect with an experienced clinician who can help find services and treatments for your child.
Daily stressors can interfere with focusing on nurturing children. Make a plan to do one small thing daily—listen to their stories, go on a walk, or just say “I love you”—to build a nurturing environment at home. #FamilyFirstFridays #ChildAbusePreventionMonth #ThrivingFamilies
Teens in #fostercare need someone to help them navigate school, life challenges, and future plans. Be their anchor and their champion. Learn more about fostering at an info session: bit.ly/beananchor-info #BeAnAnchor
