Learn about Foster Care in Delaware
In honor of Foster Care Awareness month, CAMP Rehoboth will hold a discussion on Thursday, May 14, at 6:30 p.m., on supporting all youth—but particularly LGBTQ youth—in foster care. LGBTQ youth are consistently over-represented in the foster care system.
There are many ways to support youth in foster care. This includes advocating for youth in the foster care system as a court appointed special advocate (CASA), or by becoming a host, foster, respite, or foster-to-adopt family.
Come learn about the Delaware child welfare system, the need for LGBTQ-friendly host/foster families for older youth, and some of the many ways that you can make a difference in your community. No commitment necessary. All are welcome!
We will be joined by Vera Greenplate from the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services.

Get the Conversation Started
You're invited to join us at CAMP Rehoboth on Tuesday, February 11, at 6:30 p.m., for a presentation by our friends at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) entitled: "Talk Saves Lives." This is a community-based presentation that covers the general scope of suicide, the research on suicide prevention, and what people can do to fight suicide. Attendees will learn the risk and warning signs of suicide, and how together, we can help prevent it.
Suicide continues to be an issue that disproportionately impacts the LGBTQ community. Join us. Learn what suicide is, who it affects, what we know about it, and what can be done to prevent it.
