Amara

Amara's case aides meet the needs of children & teens involved in the foster care system by providing individualized support and mentoring. Sometimes the support they offer helps youth build friendships and other relationships that are important to them. Sometimes they provide guidance and advice that helps children adjust to new routines. Other times they help with selfcare, homework, gross and fine motor skills, and, for older teens, coaching on independent living skills.
You can help our case aides by purchasing an item from our Amazon wish list. Art supplies, games, books, and more will ensure that we can create special moments of connection and sharing that offer kids going through tremendous change the chance to express themselves, learn new skills, and build trust. The gift cards will allow our case aides to treat kids to a celebratory meal or purchase an item that might be out of reach for their family.

July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year's theme, "More good days together," is a reminder that healing rarely happens in isolation. Healing grows with connection, community, culturally responsive care, and safe spaces where people are seen, heard, and valued.
It’s important to reach out to people you care about and let them know that they matter, and to remind yourself that you do too!
