Permanent care, kinship care and adoptive families are an often hidden and under-supported group. They care for some of the most vulnerable children in our community. We often hear from parents and carers that raising children from permanent care, kinship care and adoption backgrounds is rewarding, but that many families also experience a range of challenges. Families deserve to have their voices heard by those who make decisions on behalf of children.
Donations enable PCA Families to deliver high quality programs and advocate with and for children and families. PCA Families also supports parents and carers to become self-advocates. You can get involved by:
