How to Help Kids in Foster Care

You can make a big difference in a child’s life during this time of uncertainty.

he need for foster care doesn’t stop during a pandemic. Even during this time of global crisis, there are children facing their own personal crises who need foster homes and support from caring families and individuals. It takes a village to raise a child, and that saying especially rings true right now. t

Fostering a child is an important commitment, and it might not be the right choice for every family. We are grateful to the Cincinnati-area families who foster children and welcome them into their homes. But even if you aren’t in a position to foster a child yourself at the moment, there are still many ways to support these children and their foster families.

donate resources

Children in foster care need the same resources as other children. “We always accept gift cards to restaurants and grocery stores that we use to provide food for families or take kids out to eat,” says Sara Faison, foster care and visitation supervisor at Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children. Though the agency doesn’t have the facility to store items, “donations are accepted at Christmas when we are providing gifts to children,” Faison says. “We recommend organizations we work with, such as Give Like a Mother (GiveLikeaMother.com) and Warm Welcomes (WarmWelcomes.org).”

Brian Gregg, assistant director of communications at Hamilton County Job and Family Services, adds, “Our FAMILY Fund accepts financial donations to fund things such as extracurricular activities, adaptive technology, college visits, driver’s education and other needs that foster children might have.” More information about the FAMILY Fund is available at hcjfs.org/ initiatives/family-fund.

In addition, Hamilton County Job and Family Services accepts donations of new clothing and personal care items. Contact them directly to find out their donation procedures, as they have probably changed due to the pandemic.

When in doubt, money is always a good thing to donate. “Monetary donations are the best because we can use those to help meet ongoing or special needs as they arise,” says Emily Ballard, marketing and outreach coordinator for Focus on Youth.

share your time

Donations of your time are always in need, and there are many opportunities for those wishing to volunteer. “We love and need volunteers to provide childcare at our monthly foster parent meetings,” Ballard says. “Volunteering at our agency events is also a big help. We use volunteers to help organize our Clothing Closet, assist at our annual training conference and foster family Christmas party, and provide childcare for any of our annual events.”

Simply being willing to work alongside a foster family and assist wherever there is a need can be the best kind of support. That may be helping with yard work, providing a meal here and there, or helping drive kids to various appointments. For more information on volunteering with Focus on Youth, visit the web site at FocusOnYouth. com/get-involved.

provide respite care

“Respite care provides temporary relief for our full-time foster parents who need a few days to themselves, or who may be dealing with a personal emergency of their own,” says Keri Carter-Moore, a team leader of foster parent recruiting at NECCO. “Respite care can be urgent or planned, lasting no longer than 14 days.”

Ballard adds: “Foster parents need breaks. But unlike most parents, they can’t ask just anyone to watch their foster children for a couple of days. So, respite care providers are a huge need. These are families who are willing to take foster children into their home for a few days at a time, giving foster parents that much needed break. It’s a

tremendous help and allows you to build supportive relationships with foster children without committing to foster parenting.”

become an ambassador

NECCO ambassadors play a crucial role in building families by speaking up on behalf of those they serve, “from organized legislative outreach to collaborating with educators and community leaders, or even sharing our mission with friends and family via social media,” Carter-Moore says.

A CASA, or Court-Appointed Special Advocate, is a volunteer who acts in the best interest of a child. “CASA is a national association that supports and promotes court-appointed advocates for abused or neglected children in order to provide children with a safe and healthy environment in permanent homes,” Carter-Moore says.

Though the training program is a commitment of time, the rewards are great. Ultimately, the greatest joy for a CASA volunteer is to guide a child into a permanent home. “Those interested in volunteering as a CASA worker can, within less than 6 months, advocate for an abused or neglected child, supported by a ProKids

Advocacy Team,” CarterMoore says. Learn more about becoming a CASA volunteer at ProKids.org/volunteer.

These are just some of the ways you can help a child in the foster system and the families who care for them. During this unprecedented time, these children in need can benefit greatly from a little more support and love from everyone.

May is National Foster Care Month

In COVID-19, Foster Youth need support more than ever.

Specialized Alternatives for Families and Youth (SAFY) is a child and family nonprofit preserving families and securing futures through therapeutic foster care, adoptions and other family supports. In honor of National Foster Care Month, SAFY shares information about the impact of COVID-19 on children in foster care, and how the Cincinnati community can support foster youth.

While no family is immune to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, children in foster care are particularly feeling the pain of the pandemic – an unfair burden for youth who have already experienced the trauma of abuse or neglect and being separated from their families, through no fault of their own.

The coronavirus is also leading to increased numbers of children needing foster care. Sadly, for many children, home is not a safe place to be. Consider these statistics: • At the start of 2020, there were more than 1,000 children in

Hamilton County needing foster care – a number that has only grown since the COVID-19 crisis.

• Since the start of the pandemic, there has been an increase in referrals for children needing foster care as a result of abuse, domestic violence, or homelessness.

• SAFY of Cincinnati has had a 17% increase in foster youth placements since March 1.

As we collectively navigate the COVID-19 crisis, we are all looking for ways to help. Our team of social workers, clinicians and family therapists continue to serve children and families through telehealth. And we are providing opportunities for caring families to start the process to become licensed foster parents through virtual training sessions.

This National Foster Care Month, your support for foster youth is needed now more than ever. To learn more about becoming a foster parent, visit SAFY.org or call 513-771-7239.

Visit Your Favorite Cincy Spots Virtually These local favorites have connected with us and kept us entertained at home.

Technology sometimes gets a bad rap. But this spring, as we adjusted to the new realities of life during a pandemic, it was a major blessing to have virtually everything at our fingertips. Just because we stayed home didn’t mean we weren’t connected. From live-streamed science classes and story times to virtual tours and shows, our favorite Cincinnati attractions kept us connected and entertained during COVID-19. Here are a few highlights.

Cincinnati Art Museum

This spring, Cincinnati Art Museum opened online galleries on their website, allowing Cincy families to access most of the museum’s collections. Families could also explore CAM’s exhibitions and art via the Google Arts & Culture project. (CAM provided great inspo for the Getty Museum’s “art at home” project.)

Cincinnati Ballet

The Cincinnati Ballet stayed connected this spring with its new #CBAtHome page. Fans could enjoy a plethora of free and engaging content, from live online classes and activities to excerpts from past performances and rehearsals. Super fans could even participate in virtual barre classes with the Cincinnati Ballet Company!

Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra

To stay connected, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra created a digital learning platform where kids could learn about composers, watch demonstrations and even participate in artist-led crafts. Best of all, kids could learn about their favorite instruments via CSO demos and excerpts.

Cincinnati Parks

While nearly all activities and events were cancelled this spring, Cincinnati Parks remained open, providing a much-needed respite during tough times. The cherry and magnolia trees bloomed, and Cincinnati Parks posted videos, tours and photos on social media so all Cincinnati families could delight in the beauty of spring.

Cincinnati Zoo

For Cincy kids missing their favorite Zoo animals, the Cincinnati Zoo delivered. The Zoo hosted daily “Home Safari” sessions on Facebook Live, spotlighting fan-favorites like the flamingos, giraffes, elephants and, of course, #TeamFiona.

Cincinnati Museum Center

The CMC is a Cincy kid favorite, and we all missed it very much this spring. But CMC rolled with the punches, amping up their YouTube presence with regular, STEM-spired Wonder Zone videos. (Think Bill Nye the Science Guy, but with CMC.) Parents could also follow @cincymuseum on Facebook for live-steamed science experiments using easy-tofind household items.

Great Parks of Hamilton County

For families missing Great Parks’ fun programs, the Parks@Home series delivered, bringing nature and conservation education straight to Cincinnati homes. From coloring pages to backyard scavenger hunts, this program allowed Cincy kids to enjoy Great Parks any time. Kids could also tune in weekdays at 10 a.m. on Facebook and Instagram Live for virtual story times, nature walks, animal sessions, crafts and more. Afterwards, all live videos were posted to the Great Parks blog for 24/7 access.

COSI

This spring, this Ohio treasure opened its virtual doors via COSI Connects, the museum’s digital doorway to a STEM-spired world. Through COSI Connects, the talented crew at COSI delivered exciting and engaging content via videos and hands-on science. (You know the phrase “don’t try this at home?” Do try these experiments at home!)

Taft Museum of Art

Taft Museum switched gears this spring to provide Cincinnati with free, 24/7 virtual programs for families. A typical week of programming included Sunday’s “Funday” event, where families could tune in to YouTube, Facebook and Instagram for hands-on activities; Monday’s creative art-making prompt; and Wednesday’s docent-led “Taft Chats,” a fun outlet for adults.

The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati

This spring, TCT proved the “show must go on,” entertaining Cincy kids via their TCT Everywhere page. This page featured crafts, acting and vocal exercises, videos of shows, podcasts, contests and more. They also put Casper: The Friendly Musical up on YouTube for audiences to enjoy, and invited fans to a virtual viewing party, hosted by TCT’s very dapper producing artistic director Roderick Justice.

This spring, we stayed home — and a wide and wonderful world opened up thanks to these Cincinnati attractions.

Camp During a Pandemic

With schools closed and child care options at a minimum, parents and carers may be struggling to entertain their kids. With this in mind, many American Camp Association (ACA) accredited camps are rallying to keep the camp experience accessible with virtual camps. These camps are aimed at parents and carers whose regular plans were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and are likely juggling working from home with providing activities for their children.

Transforming their usual camp experience to online versions, these virtual camps are run primarily through social media channels, YouTube and Zoom, and include programming and parent resources. Activities vary from nature walks, science talks, arts and crafts, patches to earn at home, and homework help, all while allowing kids to shelter in place.

The benefits of attending camp are now clearer than ever before, thanks to the ACA’s 5 Year Impact Study: a five-year-long research project looking into the effects of camp on their campers and how camps prepare youth for college, careers and adulthood. Some of the key takeaways from the study were that camp helps develop independence, experience outdoor fun and adventure and develop an affinity for nature, relaxation, accepting difference, living life unplugged and creating self-confidence. Plus, how to make a good s’more.

As with other businesses and industries, The ACA is paying close attention to the ongoing developments related to COVID-19, but at this time, camps are still working hard to prepare for a fun and educational summer ahead. The ACA will continue to follow the CDC's guidance as we provide the camp community with resources and education. We encourage camps and families to use our webpage, Coronavirus Information for Camps (acacamps.org/resource-library/ coronavirus-information-camps), for resources that include updated CDC information, free camp communicable disease webinars, Association of Camp Nursing responses and much more continuously updated content. As of today, the ACA remains optimistic that camp will happen this summer.
