May is Foster Care Appreciation Month!

Shoutout to foster parents, kinship caregivers, and caseworkers.

You create the kind of safe, loving spaces where healing happens and young people can truly thrive. Every child deserves that foundation, thank you for showing up!!

Happy Mother’s Day! 💐

To the moms and mother figures doing it all — the snack-finders, boo-boo fixers, schedule jugglers, and late-night worriers — we see you.

Thank you for the love, strength, and care you pour into building healthy, happy families (even on the days when the coffee runs out and patience runs low). You make the magic happen!

Teachers don’t just teach — they’re part educator, part cheerleader, part mind reader, and full-time magic makers.
They create spaces where kids feel safe, seen, and supported (and somehow still remember who forgot their homework).
This Teacher Appreciation Week, all of us at PCA GA are sending a big, heartfelt THANK YOU to the ones shaping future leaders, thinkers, and dreamers — one lesson, one laugh, and one “aha!” moment at a time. 🍎

May 2, 2018, marked a powerful beginning for family support in Georgia. On that day, the first group of Georgia professionals was trained in the Quality for Family Strengthening & Support Standards through the National Family Support Network.

Since then, Georgia has grown that momentum into something remarkable—launching a statewide Georgia Family Support Network and building the infrastructure to help organizations continuously improve the quality of care provided to families.

What started as a single training has evolved into a movement focused on stronger families, stronger communities, and a higher standard of support across the state. 💙 Learn more and sign up to take training with us at https://pcaga.gsu.edu/georgia-family-support-network/

April was Child Abuse Prevention Month in Georgia, and the “Pinwheels of Possibility” theme reminded us that prevention becomes possible when families are valued, supported, and surrounded by compassion. Read the full recap blog post to see how PCA Georgia and our partners made a meaningful impact across the state! https://tinyurl.com/PCACAPMonth26

PCA Georgia's staff was out and about throughout April, deepening the relationships that make this work possible!
