After the Civil War ended, the enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, received word they were liberated by Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. This day was June 19th, 1865. Every year since 1866, Juneteenth has been celebrated as a commemoration of the end of slavery in the US. In observance of this significant holiday, our Kids In Distress (KID) and Family Central, Inc. offices will be closed. Let us honor this significant day by reflecting on our shared history and our commitment to continued growth and equality for all. 🔄 Feel free to share this post to help spread awareness. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #HistoryMatters #EqualityForAll #CelebrateJuneteenth

Today is #Juneteenth (Freedom Day) and at @authoracare, we recognize its impact as the start of creating lasting change. The Emancipation Proclamation, which was issued on Jan. 1, 1863, didn’t go into effect until more than 2 ½ years later, on June 19, 1865. That’s when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to free all enslaved people. Juneteenth blends the words “June” and “nineteenth” and has been celebrated since 1866. Celebrations can include church-centered community gatherings to highlight African-American freedom and arts. President Joe Biden signed legislation in 2021 establishing Juneteenth as a U.S. federal holiday. Let’s continue to educate ourselves about the deeply embedded, systemic racism so we can be part of the solution. #CEOAction #yourstory #ourexpertcare

Did you know that children who have spent time in foster care are 3.5x more likely to experience PTSD like that of a war veteran? Placement stability is an integeral part of helping mitigate the affects of trauma children in the foster care system experience. Once healthy stability is achieved, children can begin the process of learning how to form healthy trust-based attachements. This is vital to their healing journey. Keeping sibling groups together, whenever possible, is a monumental part of lessening the overal impact that the trauma of removal can cause for a child. Think about it, even if a child is in a desperate situation and removal is a necessary, they are still being ripped away from all that is familiar to them. For children, routine and control are two extremely important components for healthy development. When children are able to enter into the unknown space of the Child Welfare System and navigate it with their sibling, the trauma that comes with removal can have less severe lasting affects. They have eachother and intimate connection and that gives them a sense of control and safety. I am so excited to see that Christian Bale has discovered this reality and has a passion to help make it possible for siblings to remain together during foster care placement.
Shoutout to Christian Bale! After 16 years, he finally broke ground on a project close to his heart: building homes and a community center for foster siblings to stay together. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to creating a brighter future for these children! 📹: The Associated Press
