June is here—and we’re feeling the momentum from last month’s QPI National Conference, where powerful voices, bold ideas, and strong strategies and solutions came together to reimagine what’s possible in child welfare. That energy is carrying us into a summer of continued advocacy, connection, and action.

May is National Foster Care Month—a time to honor the voices, experiences, and unwavering advocacy of those working to ensure every child receives excellent parenting and is surrounded by strong, lasting relationships. While QPI champions this vision every day, May offers a special opportunity to spotlight key issues, celebrate progress, and inspire continued action.

This month, we’re brewing with excitement as we gear up for the QPI National Virtual Conference, “Teens are Different: A Research-Based Approach to Adolescents Thriving in Families! Every May, QPI hosts a national gathering where we explore topics and issues that matter most to you. This year, we’re thrilled to dedicate a day to discussing…

This month, we’re leading with one powerful word: love. It’s a word we don’t often hear in child welfare, but it’s exactly what every child needs—love, parenting, and meaningful relationships.

In this newsletter, you’ll find all the details about these events, along…

With significant milestones on the horizon, including our 3rd Annual QPI Champions Conference and the graduation of a new cohort of QPI Champions, we aim to keep our advocacy as vibrant as the rich colors of fall.

As fall settles in, we’re reminded that this is a season of transition—a time of change and growth. At QPI, we are committed to driving systems change, ensuring that transitions in foster care are centered around love, relationships, and continuity. As we embrace the changes of the season, let’s continue to foster thoughtful transitions for children, families, and the…
