proof of life: ALC week edition 💗✌🏿

panels, policy, people, prayer breakfast, fellowship volunteering, Phoenix Awards, laughter, overstimulation, beautiful moments, and a lot of “wait… is this actually my life?” 🥹

somehow, somewhere in the middle of all of that, I got to meet Sen. Warnock, saw John P. Kee perform at the prayer breakfast, and ended up at events with Viola Davis and Rick Ross in the room. like… excuse me??? 😭

there were some really meaningful moments too. I got emotional during panels about adoption and family, got to meet my fellowship sponsor in person, and at one point somehow found myself standing between Ben Crump and Nolan Wells’ family. there were so many moments this week that made the work I care about feel incredibly real.

somehow both exhausted and incredibly grateful. this week stretched me, surprised me, and reminded me why I came to DC in the first place.

still processing all of it, but very very thankful to be here.

AND PLEASE SWIPE TO THE END FOR FOUR MINUTES OF VIOLA DAVIS 😭

Back in West Virginia with @caseyprograms talking with state legislators from across the South about solutions for families affected by substance use and our child welfare system.

Infants are the fastest-growing age group entering foster care, most often because of parental substance use. And West Virginia has the highest rate of infants entering foster care in the nation.

But we know what can help.

For pregnant women with opioid use disorder, treatment with medications improves outcomes for both mom and baby and makes it less likely that a baby will enter foster care.

The challenge is making sure treatment is available when and where women need it, and confronting the stigma that too often keeps them from getting care.

These are hard problems, but they are not without solutions. We have evidence about what works. The task now is putting it into practice.

Always meaningful to have these conversations back home in West Virginia.

Today is #NationalNonprofitDay, and we're recognizing the organizations working to make a difference for children and families impacted by foster care.

There is no single path to creating change. From providing comfort and essential resources to building lasting connections, advancing research and policy, and supporting children and families directly, nonprofits across the foster care space are creating meaningful change.

We're grateful to be part of this community and for organizations like @ComfortCases, @Kidsave, and @CaseyPrograms for all they contribute to the foster care community.

And to the many others doing this work every day, we see you and appreciate you. 💙
