Pardon our mess
We're currently re-organizing the Family Voices United website to make it easier for you to find great content, real stories, tools, and more. In the meantime, you may find broken links and content reconstruciton underway.“How can foster care create an affirming and supportive environment for all those who identify as LGBTQ2S+?”
People with lived experience in the child welfare system deserve to be a part of efforts to change the system. Family Voices Untied aims to amplify the voices of those with lived experience through the Share Your Perspective (SYP) question. Your responses will be gathered and published in our SYP paper, which can be a great way to engage and advocate at the local, national and state level. Join us in the effort to improve the foster care system. We look forward to hearing what you have to say!
