🤝 The Power of Shared Parenting: Bridging the Gap for Foster Youth.

What is the best gift we can give a child in foster care? A united front. Shared parenting is the practice of foster families and biological families working hand-in-hand. It’s not always easy, but it is profoundly necessary for the emotional well-being of the children we serve.

Why it changes everything:
🌟 It removes the child's fear of "picking sides."
🌟 It honors the child's roots, culture, and identity.
🌟 It sets biological parents up for a smoother, more successful reunification.

How to start today:
1. Send a text update with a cute photo of the child.
2. Ask the birth parents for input on a haircut, a sports sign-up, or a bedtime routine.
3. Keep a photo of the biological family in the child’s room.

Remember: Foster care isn't about replacing a family; it's about surrounding a child with a bigger village. Let's work together!

So honored to sponsor this event. Seeing policy in action, making a difference for families

Before we officially kick off the FFTA 2026 Public Policy Institute, we want to recognize one more CHAMPION level Sponsor whose partnership reflects a shared commitment to creating stronger outcomes for children, families, and communities. Their continued support helps bring people together, strengthen collaboration across sectors, and amplify our voices for greater impact.

Our third thank you goes to Human Services Consultants. HSC specializes in therapeutic foster care in Arizona, guiding potential foster parents through the essential process of becoming licensed caregivers for children with complex behavioral health needs.
