US: Youth Formerly in Foster Care Help Create Federal Foster Care Transition Toolkit
Homeroom, Official Blog of the U.S. Dept. of Education – June 03, 2016
Being a youth in foster care can be difficult. Some youth in foster care often experience trauma before entering into the foster care system. Once youth enter foster care, there are often a lack sufficient role models and resources are either scarce or spread out. Gaining access to information about even the simplest things, like opening a bank account, can be a real hurdle. That’s why the recently released Foster Care Transition Toolkit is so important.
