New Agreement on Managing Youth Depression and Suicide
In a profound study that seeks to illuminate the intricacies of mental health communication within families, researchers have turned their attention to the critical aspect of parent-child dynamics in the context of depression and suicidal ideation among youth. Understanding how parents and children perceive the emotional states of one another can provide essential insights into the effectiveness of interventions aimed at mitigating the risks associated with such mental health issues.

Every day, children and families—especially Black, Brown, and Indigenous families—are harmed by the U.S. family policing system (“child welfare”). It operates as a machine of control & surveillance.
This isn't care. It's racialized and poverty-based punishment. #AccountabilityNow #HumanRights

Foster care is such a necessary system but SO broken and harmful. Once again we need massive reform, funding, and a change in approach from punitive to SUPPORTIVE.
In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.
One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

Ever wonder if the reason foster care reform is never brought up by the same politicians who scream about abortion daily?
Possibly because they don’t want their supply chain disrupted?

Our justice/prison system has needed reform since it began. Our foster care system is filled with abuse too.
While we are on the topic of throwing kids in solidarity or closets, that's how many special ed kids are treated at school and care facilities.
Prisons are for profit and use slave labor.
