Today marks the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, recognized from September 15th to October 15th. A time to celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities across the nation. Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the cultures of Hispanic and Latino roots from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

Every child deserves to feel seen and supported for who they are, and this includes through their heritage. 💙🦋

Advocacy in Motion! 💙

Our CASA BFL team had such fun and learned about additional resources, ways to look at advocacy for kids in foster care, and built new connections during our time at the Texas CASA Conference, joined by several of our dedicated Volunteers and a valued Board Member. Together, we strengthened our commitment to advocating for children and families in our communities.

Thank you to Texas CASA for hosting and to everyone who participated and represented CASA of Bastrop, Fayette & Lee Counties! 💙

The work of advocating for children and families involved in the child welfare system is powerful and deeply personal. Whether you are a volunteer, staff member, community partner, advocate, or in the child welfare system yourself, taking time for rest is necessary.

Caring for yourself helps recharge your self-strength and ability to overcome hardships.

To learn about the 10 most important strengths identified through research that activate resilience in the people you serve and even in yourself, please take the time to watch this webinar.

September is recognized as Kinship Care Awareness Month, during which caregivers are shown extra appreciation for their role in supporting children.

Kinship care offers youth in the child welfare system the chance to live with people they already know and trust (such as relatives or close family friends). This type of placement helps children maintain important connections to their family, heritage, and community, giving added stability and comfort in their lives.

Learn more about Kinship Placements at the link below.
