@LaReynaaashe Following through with adoption can be a tough decision to make as a parent. Thankfully there are resources to make the process easier. https://t.co/kQ4j5SCOtV
There are cases of children who do not qualify for Medicaid, thus making it hard for the family to pay for it and possibly preventing the child from receiving medical care. https://t.co/icTJidhQ6Z #TarletonCWF22
@DestaniErwin Teenagers are especially overlooked in adoption. This can lead to vulnerability to many situations as they reach adulthood. https://t.co/ZtjZPm9e7f
@stout_emory According to the AFCARS Report, in 2019 there were 423,997 children in foster care. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/viewer.html?pdfurl=https%3A%2F%https://t.co/LxOyfkoYcC%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fdocuments%2Fcb%2Fafcarsreport27.pdf&clen=597529&chunk=true
Parents with addiction will have their children taken into child protective services if called in. Treatment must be seeked in order to go through the reunification process. Reunification means the home is safe and the child can return home. #TarletonCWF22 https://t.co/QINrupcWLm
Only 50% of teenage mothers receive a High School Diploma by the age of 22. Support and resources play big roles in helping teens continue their education.

@pixley_rachel Social workers also play an important role in the lives of low-income families. They provide resources and assistance. https://t.co/PjvksBTgEO
@Kathy24311905 Early Intervention can definitely help a child deal with trauma. If children received help, that number could decrease. https://t.co/l9JoDGp50R
Adversity has been proven to affect children's psychological well-being. It can lead to serious harm for the child and their future. #TarletonCWF22 https://t.co/UyhxTu1zji.
@Pandamh98 Hundreds of children die every day because their abuse or neglect is not given that immediate response. It is definitely essential to act quickly when seeing alarming signs.
@Stephan22750895 Interventions are great, but the most important component in helping a child succeed is to give them love and support. https://t.co/fSsjtnWgbx
Before helping a child deal with trauma, one must first deal with one's own trauma. If you experienced a traumatic event or some form of abuse as a child, then it is detrimental to access and overcome that first. https://t.co/rtizVbDb8o #TarletonCWF22
@LaReynaaashe Not only that but these children are surrounded by the addiction. Thus, increasing the chances that the children will engage in substance abuse as an adult. https://t.co/HEMyk0EDyM
@cristenthornt10 There are indeed four domains. Children are not at fault for being abused or maltreated. Although, these factors can increase the likelihood of a child being maltreated. https://t.co/x01nINLn4L
Anyone who suspects of child abuse or neglect must report it to DFPS. It is your obligation as a mandated reporter. Reports can be made through the telephone or the Internet. #TarletonCWF22

@Kathy24311905 I believe that the government should look into implementing a policy for those low-income families. A lack of services means an increase in suicides and advancements in mental health issues.
