❤️Kinship families are strong—but the systems meant to support families weren’t built with them in mind. Too often, caregivers face barriers enrolling kids in school, accessing healthcare, or securing stable housing.

That’s not just inconvenient—it’s unjust. It’s time to connect systems to recognize, respect, and support grandfamilies.

Kin caregivers save taxpayers $10.5B/yr by keeping kids with family. Without them, foster care would be overwhelmed.

Kin caregivers already do so much. Children should not have to enter foster care just to access basic services.

It’s time we show up for the caregivers who show up for our kids.

Did you know? For every child raised by kin in foster care, 19 more are raised by relatives outside the system.

Why does this matter? Because most kinship families are navigating caregiving without access to foster care or community supports. When families lack support, they can feel isolated and unseen — even when they only need help with simple things like enrolling a child in school. Kids Matter provides support to thousands of families -- but our resources cannot stretch far enough to support the additional thousands who need help. Kinship families deserve support without being forced into foster care to receive it.

AI is evolving fast — what does that mean for child safety?

A recent federal appeals court ruling raises questions about how the law applies to AI-generated child sexual abuse material. Wisconsin's law remains in effect, but this new precedent could have implications for future cases.

As technology evolves rapidly, so must our efforts to protect children in the spaces it creates.

How are you remembering 9/11? How are you sharing 9/11 with children?

We remember the people lost, the people who ran in to help, and the people whose lives were changed forever.
The message of Fred Rogers for children experiencing a crisis still resonates: “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
Our darkest days do not define us. We can and did unite in hope. So many stepped forward to help, and so many still do.
