Saving Innocence

This past week we took a Mommy and Me trip to the Long Beach Aquarium! An important part of our work is creating opportunities for the youth we support to connect with their kids in meaningful ways. It was a really special day. ♥️🐬•⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ • #humantraffickingawareness #humantrafficking #traffickinghub #nonprofit #nonprofitsofinstagram #children #nonprofitorganization #hope #makeadifference #healing #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #fosterparents ⁠⁠#socialworkers #socialworklife #socialwork

A day of recognition, restoration, and celebration. Today, we at Saving Innocence are celebrating the importance of this significant day in American history. While we celebrate, we also acknowledge that there is still much work left to be done in the fight for equality and justice. ✊ #juneteenth •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ • #humantraffickingawareness #humantrafficking #traffickinghub #nonprofit #nonprofitsofinstagram #children #nonprofitorganization #hope #makeadifference #healing #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #fosterparents ⁠⁠#socialworkers #socialworklife #socialwork

June is PRIDE Month in the US, so we want to shed light on this important reality. When children are made to feel rejected or bad about who they are, they are put at higher risk for homelessness and exploitation. We hope for a world that is safer for our LGBTQ+ youth. ❤️🌈 •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ • #humantraffickingawareness #humantrafficking #traffickinghub #nonprofit #nonprofitsofinstagram #children #nonprofitorganization #hope #makeadifference #healing #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #fosterparents ⁠⁠#socialworkers #socialworklife #socialwork

Last week, one of our clients graduated from high school and a few from our team were there to cheer her on. As she reflected: “My aunt and uncle said I’d never graduate, but I did it.” She is incredibly resilient and is now working towards being an esthetician! Join us in celebrating and congratulating her on this huge accomplishment! 🥳👩‍🎓•⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ • #humantraffickingawareness #humantrafficking #traffickinghub #nonprofit #nonprofitsofinstagram #children #nonprofitorganization #hope #makeadifference #healing #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #fosterparents ⁠⁠#socialworkers #socialworklife #socialwork

One of the big contributing factors to exploitation is dehumanization. Let's work on getting rid of words that objectify children. Objects are "placed"; children are JOINED with families. ❤️ #fostercaremonth •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ • #humantraffickingawareness #humantrafficking #traffickinghub #nonprofit #nonprofitsofinstagram #children #nonprofitorganization #hope #makeadifference #healing #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #fosterparents ⁠⁠#socialworkers #socialworklife #socialwork

The work we do creates generational impact. We are not just supporting the individual survivor that we serve, but their families as well. We're really thankful walk alongside some resilient mothers ❤️•⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ • #humantraffickingawareness #humantrafficking #traffickinghub #nonprofit #nonprofitsofinstagram #children #nonprofitorganization #hope #makeadifference #healing #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #fosterparents ⁠⁠#socialworkers #socialworklife #socialwork

In honor of Foster Care Month, meet Kristi, our Parent Advocate: ⁠ ⁠ “As a former foster parent trying to navigate the foster care system while also meeting the needs of my kids, I could have used someone in my corner who had gone before me. Being a Parent Advocate means being that person: someone to support the foster parent, help brainstorm, and be a safe place to process along their foster parenting journey. At Saving Innocence, I feel so passionate about our foster parents having someone support them on their journey and it is yet another example of the village we build around our foster families and youth to support them along their way.” •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ • #fostercaremonth #humantraffickingawareness #humantrafficking #traffickinghub #nonprofit #nonprofitsofinstagram #children #nonprofitorganization #hope #makeadifference #healing #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #fosterparents ⁠⁠#socialworkers #socialworklife #socialwork

Traffickers prey on the most vulnerable in society. Every child deserves to be surrounded by a safe and loving family. This is why our Foster Family Agency is such an important part of our organization. 💛 •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ •⁠⁠ • #humantraffickingawareness #humantrafficking #traffickinghub #nonprofit #nonprofitsofinstagram #children #nonprofitorganization #hope #makeadifference #healing #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #fosterparents ⁠⁠#socialworkers #socialworklife #socialwork
