🧠 Over 50% of children in foster care struggle with a diagnosed mental health disorder, yet many go without the support they need. 16-year-old Caleb lost his mom at a young age. With his father unable to care for him due to addiction, he bounced between foster homes. Each move brought new challenges: more uncertainty, more loss, and more trauma. Behind his quiet demeanor was a teen battling anxiety, depression, and the emotional scars of his past. When Caleb came to CHN, he was connected with a trauma-informed therapist and a dedicated support team. With time, patience, and trust, he is beginning to open up, and for the first time in years, he’s starting to imagine a future filled with hope. Mental health care isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline. This Mental Health Awareness Month, we stand with youth like Caleb and advocate for the support every child in foster care deserves. ❤ #ChildrensHomeNetwork #MentalHealthAwareness #FosterCare (fb)
