In honor of Foster Care Awareness Month this May, Kids Crossing will be hosting an art exhibit showcasing perspectives from the front lines of the foster care system.

In honor of Foster Care Awareness Month this May, Kids Crossing, a child placement agency dedicated to providing safe and loving homes for every child in their care, will be hosting an art exhibit showcasing perspectives from the front lines of the foster care system.

Art offers a safe space to express traumatic experiences that may be difficult to verbalize, particularly for children in the foster care system who may struggle to articulate their emotions. It also serves as a powerful tool for building self-esteem, enhancing problem-solving skills, strengthening relationships, and improving social skills.

The exhibit will feature artwork from Kids Crossing's foster youth, foster families, foster parents, caseworkers, therapists, and home coordinators.

Cookies and refreshments will be provided.
