Jurisdictions that are shifting to family preservation, “Kin First” policies, aggressive Family Finding, and strong support for parents and relatives are — often without realizing it — carrying out powerful public-health strategies.
By keeping children safely with parents whenever possible, or rapidly uniting them with kin and siblings when needed, they cut the added PTSD risk roughly in half — and with it, much of the downstream chronic disease, lost health, and lost lives driven by the foster care system.

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) invites individuals with intellectual disabilities and/or autism (ID/A) and their families to join in a virtual discussion with members of the Division of Policy and Program Innovation.

ODP staff will provide an overview of the ID/A Centers for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS) waivers available in Pennsylvania. This session will consist of a brief history of ID/A services in PA, what ODP is, and how the "waivers" came to exist and their purpose.

The session will also include time to explore the Department of Human Services’ (DHS) and ODP’s websites for this information.

Heal in front of your kids so they learn that growth is part of being human — not a sign that something is wrong with them.

Not by pouring your struggles onto them, but by letting them witness what it looks like to pause, to reflect, to choose differently the next time.

Let them see you apologise when you need to.
Let them see you take a breath when frustration rises.
Let them see you course-correct without shame.

Because they don’t learn confidence from watching a flawless parent. They learn it from watching someone anchored enough to acknowledge their own edges without collapsing under them.

When you grow in the open, gently and responsibly, you’re not showing them your cracks — you’re showing them what self awareness looks like in motion, what integrity looks like in practice, what it means to stay in relationship even while evolving.

And that is how they learn that imperfection isn’t failure — it’s simply part of the courage of becoming. ❤️

“Being loved is minimum.”

As a relationship therapist who has walked with couples for over two decades, I say this with all sincerity:
Love is the starting point, not the destination.

Anybody can say “I love you.”
But what makes a relationship truly thrive is what happens after the words.

Love must become:
✨ Consistency
✨ Safety
✨ Accountability
✨ Effort
✨ Responsibility
✨ Emotional maturity
✨ Daily choices—not occasional feelings

Being loved is the minimum…
Being cherished is different.
Being understood is deeper.
Being prioritized is intentional.
Being safe with someone is priceless.
Being grown with is the real goal.

If you find yourself holding on to “at least he/she loves me,” you may be settling for a version of love that isn’t supporting your emotional well-being.

As Coach Bose, I’ve seen this pattern over and over again:

People cling to the bare minimum because they’re afraid of asking for more—more effort, more communication, more presence, more respect, more healing.

But hear me clearly today…

You deserve love that *nourishes* you, not love that keeps you guessing.
You deserve partnership, not confusion.
You deserve emotional safety, not emotional survival.
You deserve someone who loves you in action, not just in words.

So if you’re reading this, here’s your gentle reminder:

Love is the beginning.
Growth is the journey.
Intentionality is the glue.
And two healed people choosing each other daily—that is the real “happily ever after.”

Don’t settle for the minimum.
You are worthy of more.
