This is a photo of a plastic cup with dried paint swirled around the inside. The cup symbolizes the barriers that families face in their daily lives or in crisis and the providers working to remove those barriers. As providers work to remove one barrier; the bright colors in the cup; the other barriers that families are facing are the gray, murky colors in the cup. As one barrier is removed another barrier pops up; this can be disheartening to the families and providers. It is important for both to focus on the light, the bright, the barrier that has been removed. ​
