Mother’s Day is a time of celebration for many, but for children in care, it can be a difficult reminder of loss, separation, or complex family relationships. In this blog, we look at ways foster carers can offer support and help children navigate the emotions and challenges this day may bring.

Easter is one of the most family-centered holidays of the year. Sweet treats, egg hunts, school breaks, and time spent with loved ones, it’s often filled with warmth and togetherness across many homes and communities. But for children in foster care, the Easter weekend can surface emotions that catch everyone off guard.

Foster families can successfully navigate birth family reunions during holiday seasons by implementing thoughtful planning, emotional support strategies, and clear communication approaches.

The back-to-school season often brings a mix of excitement and nerves for any child, but for foster and adoptive children, this time of year can present unique challenges. From adjusting to new environments and forming friendships to managing lingering effects of past traumas, the transition back to school can be particularly daunting.
