Today and every day we are so thankful for the village of people who work to change the lives of struggling families and vulnerable children. Our CASAs give so much of their lives and their hearts to serve this mission, and our dedicated board members work diligently behind the scenes to support those working "on the ground." We are also very thankful for the child welfare personnel, judges, attorneys, foster parents, family members, birth parents, visitation supervisors, teachers, therapists, recovery community members, service providers, and our incredible community supporters - each holds a special space in our village and we appreciate each one. Thank you for being part of our team in whatever way you serve. May your Thanksgiving Day be filled with peace, gratitude, and joyful moments!

November is National Adoption Month
Honoring Youth: Strengthening Pathways for Lasting Bonds
President Clinton named November as National Adoption Month in 1995 and we have been celebrating it ever since. In recent years, we have focused our efforts on adoption of teens because we know that teens in foster care wait longer for permanency and are at higher risk of aging out without permanent connections, which places them at risk for negative outcomes.
Young people should have a strong support network that meets their needs; embraces and affirms their racial, ethnic, and cultural identity; and promotes family, community, and cultural connections. By honoring every youth and their network, professionals can work toward an adoption that is meaningful and purposeful, paving the way for healing, well-being, and long-term stability.

"The lighthouse effect is the idea that ordinary people, immersed in the business of their own lives, wrestling with their own struggles and imperfections, can touch the lives of others. It suggests that our lives are formed, altered, and characterized by the smallest of interactions that bend the arc of our lives. It means that we see our life experience as an opportunity to touch the life of another, to see in their life a connection to our own. It is a framework for living, learning, and leading, a way to more positively engage with one another, to build trust, to see beyond the labels that define us to the human experiences that bond us. We all have the capacity to be a lighthouse."

The International Day of Non-Violence is observed on 2 October, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian independence movement and pioneer of the philosophy and strategy of non-violence.
Gandhi, who helped lead India to independence, has been the inspiration for non-violent movements for civil rights and social change across the world. Throughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to his belief in non-violence even under oppressive conditions and in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
In honor of Mahatma Gandhi`s birthday, International Day of Non-Violence, and Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we recognize the significant importance of choosing non-violent resolutions and of promoting peaceable yet effective solutions in each area of our lives.
Because #kindnessmatters everyday!

Today begins Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Today and beyond, we must work together to embrace diverse paths to healing from violence + oppression, commit to holding space for survivors, and center those most marginalized in all of our efforts to end Domestic Violence. It all begins with education and a commitment to hold space for survivors of all types of violence to heal in safety and without judgment. #HealHoldCenter #NoSurvivorJusticeWithoutRacialJustice
