Foster care is increasingly functioning as a response to children's behavioral health needs, not just a safety intervention. That's a critical shift worth naming, but it raises a harder question: Are our systems equipped to meet those needs?

Our blog, "Beyond Intervention: Why Foster Care Must Be Paired with Adoption Competent Mental Health Care," explores what it would take to build systems that support families, starting with adoption-competent mental health care that helps providers understand behaviors through the lens of trauma, support, and attachment, and engage families as partners in healing. When systems are equipped this way, foster care stops being the endpoint and instead becomes part of a coordinated path toward healing, not just placement.
