As we enter #PrideMonth2021, the #CaAlliance takes a moment to reflect and reaffirm our commitment to stand with the #LGBTQ+ community.

We realize that while we have made strides in movement towards equality within our nation, more can always be done.

"Foster Strong means to me that through the struggles that come with being in the system, we can all learn from those and grow to be stronger individuals." - COMPASS Program Participant. COMPASS Programs at David & Margaret support young adults with a history of foster care.

Are you of the 20% of the general population who struggles with a mental health disorder? They say 1 in every 5 adults will need mental health support, but for youth with a history of foster care, these numbers rise to 8 in every 10. https://t.co/bbadfoFSN3
