🧠💛 May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Foster Care Awareness Month 💚👶 At Virginia Home for Boys and Girls, we believe that every young person deserves a safe place to belong and heal. Many young people in foster care carry emotional wounds that require more than just shelter—they need compassion, structure, and trauma-informed mental health care. 🌟 That’s where our programs come in. From Individual Counseling to Group Therapy, Residential Care, and Transitional Living Support, VHBG provides holistic services designed to help young people recover, grow, and thrive. 📚 Learn more about our resources and how you can support youth on their healing journey: 🔗 vhbg.org/resources #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #FosterCareAwarenessMonth #VHBG #BelongingHeals #TraumaInformedCare #FosterHope (fb)

We were honored to attend the bill signing and launch of Virginia’s new “Safe Kids, Strong Families” initiative with Governor Glenn Youngkin and Secretary Janet Kelly on May 15. This bold reform effort—backed by bipartisan legislation and a $1M study—aims to transform child welfare across Virginia by advancing kinship care, reducing congregate care, and empowering foster youth. As a provider of trauma-informed programs supporting for young people (11–21) in foster care, VHBG is proud to help shape these critical next steps. Exciting progress—and an honor to stand alongside those working to build a stronger future for Virginia’s children. #SafeKidsStrongFamilies #FosterCareAwarenessMonth #VHBG #ChildWelfareReform #RightHelpRightNow #SupportForYoungPeople #TraumaInformedCare (fb)
