Week 2 of #FosterCare Fortnight and we're thinking about the many different people involved in the #FosterCare process who work tirelessly to support young people and children 💜

🎉We have an exciting new project 🎉

📣 Voice Of Our Own a new way for young people to join the #MindOfMyOwn community to help shape our apps with their experiences and ideas.

If you have young people who you think would make brilliant young advisors email or DM us!

Did you know ❓Using digital participation tools can save services £60,000-£120,000 per child per year? By empowering young people to speak up, we're not just preventing harm, but also nurturing resilience.

Meet Orla, with Mind Of My Own, she found a source of consistency and comfort. No matter where life takes her, her voice remains heard and valued helping to put her mind at ease. 💬🤳 #chidlrensMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Foster care reviews may seem daunting, but here's a tip: urging your young people to fill out 'Get Ready for a Foster Care Review' can make a huge difference. It boosts readiness, assurance & ensures productive discussions happen 💻 #FosterCare #Preparation #fostercareFortnight

Yesterday was a day like no other and hard to put into words💜

Director Jill Thorburn sums up yesterday in this great thread! What a day 💥 #voxcon2024 #conference #childrensServices

It’s #mentalhealthawarenessweek and it’s important we all recognise that care experienced children and young people are more likely to face mental health challenges than the wider population.
