Celebrating HHY Social Workers
March is Social Work Appreciation Month, and we want to take this time to shine a well-deserved spotlight on our dedicated Social Workers. HHY Social Workers play a vital role in transforming lives. They are the calm in the storm, the advocates for children in need, and the guiding hands that help foster families thrive. The work we do at HHY wouldn’t be possible without the strength, passion, and unwavering commitment of the Social Work team . Whether they’re conducting home visits, supporting foster parents, attending court hearings, or simply lending a listening ear, HHY Social Workers are on the front lines every day, showing up with grace, compassion, and professionalism-even in the most challenging moments. Thank You Social Workers!

Youth Spotlight: Liam’s Easter Bunny Tale
With Easter just around the corner, Liam, one of our creative foster youth, wanted to share a fun Easter Bunny story he wrote to celebrate the season.
Easter Disaster
In the morning it was almost Easter and a bunny was hopping around. Getting ready for the Easter season. Little did the bunny know there were animal catchers out. So the bunny was captured, and put in a van to the animal shelter. Once the bunny got to the shelter the bunny was put in a cage with lots of other bunnies. After two straight days of being at the shelter a human girl walked up to his cage. The bunny thought he was going to be killed, but instead the girl cuddled him. So the bunny realized maybe just maybe humans aren’t that bad. The girl brought the bunny home and the bunny realized they to were big fans of Easter. So this night the bunny slept a peaceful sleep.
