June is #PrideMonth! Let's celebrate love, acceptance, and the voices that make a difference. LGBTQIA+ youth are overrepresented in the foster care system and need strong advocacy to ensure their voices are heard in court. SCAN offers programs specifically tailored to support and raise awareness for the unique challenges facing families in the LGBTQIA+ community. Visit our table at Alexandria City Pride on Saturday, June 1, 2024, or at the Loudoun County Pride Festival on June 2, 2024, to learn more about becoming an advocate for an LGBTQIA+ child in foster care. Together, we can make a difference! ?? #PrideMonth #SupportLGBTQIAYouth #FosterCareAdvocacy #CelebrateLove
