In this episode we talk all about the ways that the foster care system can be both life saving and traumatic for children and families. We hope that by listening to this episode you gain some insight into the lives of young people who have experienced foster care and identify strategies for supporting them. We’re talking to Dulce, Sherry Edwards, and Dani Erikson from Treehouse, a Washington State based nonprofit serving youth in foster care. We also speak with Romajean Thomas, a Muckleshoot tribal member, indigenous social worker, and executive director of Feed 7 Generations.
