We support foster care all year round, but this month, we join the nation in shining a bright light on our staff and foster parents who help us serve the youth in our care. We cannot express enough gratitude to our clinicians, case managers, and program coordinators as they serve on the frontlines of our programs. Our support teams are the backbone of our organization and work tirelessly to keep our operations running smoothly.

In addition to Foster Care Appreciation Month, May is also Mental Health Awareness Month and Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Our continuum of care model is built on the foundation of a deep belief in mental health support. Programs like Children and Family Treatment and Support Services (CFTSS), Home Health Care Management, our Youth and Family Resource Center, and Home and Community-Based Treatment and Support (HCBTS) services were designed with the idea that families who receive mental health services and support are more likely to avoid systems that split them apart.

The work that we do at Cayuga Centers is tough. The work that foster parents and all parents excel at daily is tough. This month it is so important that we take time and invest in our own mental health.

Happy Foster Care Appreciation and Mental Health Awareness month!

Themes of Resilience, Strength and Creativity invoke how connected we are by our lived experiences and how we can overcome barriers and have empathy towards others. This artwork showcasing unity and solidarity was made to bring awareness to Sexual Assault issues that continue to prevail in our society today. This painting was created through a collaborative effort involving students from several of our classrooms ranging in age from 10 to 17 years old. #SAAM #sexualassaultawarenessmonth
