‘We Want to Be Heard, Not Fixed’: Voices of Foster Youth [risemagazine.org]

 

These days, I follow so many related organizations that I am never sure when I come onto ACEs Connection, if I am simply reposting something I discovered from ACEs connection in the first place! 

 

That's just a way of saying- this is an incredibly resource rich website. 

 

I just thought that these vignettes from foster youth offered such valuable perspective, I didn't want anyone to miss out on it. 

 

From the introduction:
"When we grow up in care, we’re mandated to services. When we come back into the system as parents, it still feels like no one’s listening to what we think we need. Here, five foster care alum and parents—whose names have been changed because they have open cases—explain the approaches that have worked for them."

Thanks for posting this, Donielle. I didn't know about Rise, and will reach out to them to see if they want to repost their stories on ACEsConnection/ACEsTooHigh.

 

Cheers, Jane
