Foster Youth Mentoring:
|
As an adult, I've mentored hundred's of youth in foster care. Helping them to understand why foster care happens and what they can learn from it.
Because there's purpose, value, and meaning in everything. And if these youth continue to focus on the pain that they’re experiencing they will continue to suffer. But if they’re taught how to focus on the lessons they will continue to heal and grow. And having someone to talk to who's been in experiences similar to theirs can be very healing for them. Even though growing up in foster care was extremely tough on me, it also taught me some very valuable skills. Such as how to be adaptable, resilient, resourceful, and intuitive. And I’m sure these skills (or superpowers as I like to call them) will serve me greatly for the rest of my life. And the same is true for many foster care alumni I’ve connected with over the years. If you know of any youth in foster care who are having a hard time right now and could use a bit of mentoring please reach out to me. I'd love to connect with you and them. |
