Shining a spotlight on Akin's Parents for Parents Program! ✨

In honor of Our 2nd Annual Reunification Day coming up this week!

At Akin, we're deeply committed to supporting families on their journey to reunification. Our Parents for Parents program plays a vital role in this mission by working with parents navigating the dependency court systems, offering guidance, resources, and a supportive community.

One of the highlights of this program is our annual Reunification Day! This special day celebrates the hard work, perseverance, and dedication of parents striving to reunify with their children. It's a powerful reminder of the hope and healing that's possible when families are given the support they need.

This event is open to all parents and families who have reunified with their children. Please join us!
