May is Foster Care Awareness Month.

At The PEAL Center, we are raising awareness about the different family structures, experiences, and challenges youth with disabilities in foster care may face. We are committed to supporting all youth and the people who care for them, including parents, grandparents, relatives, foster families, friends, and caregivers.

If you need assistance, support, or resources, reach out to PEAL at pealcenter.org/need-to-talk. Our training calendar, pealcenter.org/trainings includes a variety of workshops and opportunities for youth, parents, grandparents, caregivers, and families throughout Pennsylvania.
