MAY IS NATIONAL FOSTER CARE MONTH Personal tragedies – such as abuse, neglect, family breakdown, the death of caregivers – exist whenever a child enters foster care. Such tragedies may affect refugee children who resettle in the U.S. with parents or other caregivers. Some refugee children, separated from parents or customary caregivers while still overseas, are resettled in the U.S. into a specialized refugee foster care system. Under certain conditions, other children may be able to receive special refugee foster care services. BRYCS is addressing the needs of refugee children in public foster care by developing promising practice materials and hosting a Refugees and Foster Care Roundtable. Read more about
how BRYCS is addressing foster care
and refugees issues. |
