All too often foster youth are separated from their siblings. The National Network for Foster Siblings Connections is a coalition of researchers, social workers, lawyers, advocates, journalists, lived experts and other professionals interested in changing how we support foster sibling connections. We are interested in elevating best practices and tackling needed changes in laws, policies and implementation.
If you're interested in rolling up your sleeves and joining us to change policies and practices to support foster sibling connections, or you simply need help with a sibling connections issue and don't know where to start - register to join our next call.
We'll be meeting monthly the first Tuesday of the month at 1pm-2:30pm Pacific (4-5:30pm Eastern).
​
Please invite anyone who might be interested in joining us! Attached is a flyer you can share for this coming month's meeting as well as other meetings in the future. I'm proud to say that we now have over 100 advocates in our community like you who've signed up to volunteer and be in community with each other to support sibling connections across this county and beyond.
