Many people and agencies have contributed to this briefcase. To each, we offer our heartfelt thanks. This briefcase brought out the true spirit of service to children, as each person or organization offered materials and information selflessly to benefit the cause of child advocacy.
Thank you to all of the individuals and agencies who have sent materials…and to those who WILL be inspired in the future to send materials to add to the current briefcase.
Thank you to the Foster Family-based Treatment Association staff for writing materials and assisting with this effort.
Thank you to the Board of Directors of the Foster Family-based Treatment Association, a group of volunteers, who created this project in their spare time… after working at their own Treatment Foster Care agencies.
Thank you to the spouses and staff of those listed below, for the extra effort you made in joining this initiative.
Our many thanks go out to the “National Foster Care Month” initiative for inspiring this briefcase. We offer thanks to them for authorizing the Foster Family-based Treatment Association to tailor materials from their toolkit to be used to advocate for Treatment Foster Care children year-round. Further, we thank them for their open and selfless desire to develop and give their materials to others, in order to reach more people…showing a true desire to help children.
