Care for Caseworkers

Caring for Those Who Care for Vulnerable Children

Inviting nonprofits, faith communities, groups, and individuals to show radical love-in-action to child welfare professionals across the country

Care for Caseworkers is an ongoing collaborative effort among dozens of organizations across the U.S.

Join us in our We See You campaign (formerly known as National Hospitality Week), October 12 - 16, 2026, as we seek to show caseworkers and child welfare staff that they are seen, valued, and appreciated.

“The chance of achieving permanency decreased from 74.5% to 17.5% after foster care youth received a case worker change. Research suggests that disruptions in casework services, due to changes in family service workers, is associated with the increased rates of foster care drift.”

organizations Who Collaborate Together

"Child welfare professionals are the steady presence behind every child’s hope, healing, and opportunity. During National Hospitality Week - now Care for Caseworkers - we proudly stand to recognize and celebrate those who show up every day with compassion, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to children and families. Supporting caregivers is not just an act of appreciation; it is an investment in stronger families, stronger communities, and brighter futures."

- Rita L. Soronen, President & CEO, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption
"Care for Caseworkers has been absolutely great for us at WinShape Homes to bring attention and awareness to our neighbors, partnering organizations and churches of the value of their local and state foster care case managers. We know their role is critical in a time of crisis and during this special week, we show caseworkers our appreciation. This is something good we do to celebrate a group of individuals that give so much of themselves that typically do not receive any applause. I’ve enjoyed hearing the stories from case managers how much they felt seen and celebrated through this intentional caring week."

- Riley P. Green III, Ed.D. Senior Director, WinShape Homes
"As Care for the Caseworkers continues to grow, we celebrate every effort that brings greater encouragement, appreciation, and practical support to this workforce. Congregations for Kids remains committed to helping lead the way through meaningful partnership, long-term advocacy, innovative support, and tangible care for the social workers and caseworkers who tirelessly advocate for children and families in our community."

- Genevieve Bowden, Executive Director, Congregations for Kids
"Child welfare workers frequently enter into unpredictable environments often without any physical backup in an effort to guard the lives of children from neglect and abuse. They are in many ways first responders but are rarely seen in that light. Through Care for Caseworkers, together, we are backing them up, by pointing to their bravery and faithfulness, and inviting others to affirm their critical role in children’s lives. "

- Andy Cook, President & CEO, Promise686
