Raising your grandkids, nieces, or nephews? You've got a seat at our table 🪑

Being the primary caregiver for your relatives' children comes with joys you never expected... and challenges nobody warned you about. Sound familiar? Our Relative Caregiver Support Group gets it.

What happens here:
💬 Real talk with people who understand your daily reality
🤝 Share what's working (and what's definitely not)
😂 Laugh about the chaos together
💡 Get ideas from folks who've been there
☕ Take an hour just for YOU

When: 4th Thursday of every month, 11am-12pm

Where: Your cozy spot at home via Zoom

Who: Grandparents, aunts, uncles raising kids as primary caregivers

No judgment. No pressure to have it all figured out. Just connection.
Because sometimes you need to talk to people who know what it's like when bedtime takes 2 hours and homework involves subjects that didn't exist when you were in school.

Did you know there are nearly 7,000 children in Wisconsin's foster care system? This National Foster Care Month, we're raising awareness and encouraging community support for these youth and the families who care for them.

You don't have to become a foster parent to make a difference! Consider:

- Donating to your local Foster Care Closet
- Becoming a respite care provider
- Mentoring youth in your community
- Advocating for supportive policies

The Coalition for Children, Youth & Families is here to help you find the perfect way to contribute. Together, we can ensure every child has the stability and support they deserve.

This week’s Coalition Connection has lots of links to more information, resources, and opportunities to learn!
