COMMUNITY
As you may be aware, at the moment more and more children are coming into foster care programs across Victoria and there are not enough carers available to meet these needs, meaning children are often moved from short-term to short-term options. It is imperative that we understand the importance of stable, safe homes that foster their well-being, esteem, and positive cultural identities and how this can directly impact their receptiveness to education. If you are able to spread the word and support VACCA to raise awareness of the need for foster carers, you will be supporting children who are at risk to find stability, safety, nurturing and the home-based care they need; to be able to focus on healing, empowerment and be able to achieve their dreams and goals.
