As a foster community, we have a unique role in celebrating and honoring Juneteenth and the freedom of Blacks in America. It is crucial to recognize the significance of race and to view children in foster care as their authentic selves. utahfostercare.org/blog/honoring-… #Juneteenth

#TodayAtDHHS we join the call from Utah Foster Care Governor Cox Abby Cox The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for more foster families. Utah has 822 licensed foster families, the lowest number in many years. There are children who need your hearts and homes even just for a season.

“I’m here to tell you, the system is not broken,” said the First Lady. “There are broken homes. There are broken people.” We are here to heal the brokenness.

Please consider opening your heart and home to children who have no where else to go, especially teens, sibling groups, youth who are Latino, youth who are LGBTQ, or who have complex behaviors. Learn how to become a foster parent at Utahfostercare.org

And, if becoming a foster parent isn’t right for you, consider how you can support foster families who are in your religious congregations, who are your co-workers or who are your neighbors. Can you provide an occasional meal for them or learn how to provide respite care?
