Family reunification happens when parents are supported, empowered, and believed in. This National Reunification Month, we honor the journey of parents working to bring their families back together—and the role of community-based support like our Parents for Parents (P4P) program. When parents are equipped with the right tools and encouragement, safe reunification becomes not just a goal—but a reality. Learn more: https://bit.ly/2tRNcom

Behind every successful reunification is a story of resilience, love, and support. June is National Reunification Month and we want to celebrate the families who work tirelessly to reunite—and the advocates, mentors, and programs like Parents for Parents (P4P) that help make it possible. For every $1 invested in P4P, there’s a $3.22 return through reduced government spending. More importantly, the emotional and material support it provides increases the likelihood of reunification and decreases parental rights termination. Learn more about P4P: https://bit.ly/2tRNcom
