Welcome to Fostered Truths: Real Talk Tuesdays — a powerful virtual space led by a former foster youth turned Marriage & Family Therapist and seasoned social worker with 20+ years in child welfare. Whether you’re a current or aspiring foster parent, former foster youth, social worker, CASA, or simply curious about the foster care system — this is for YOU.
This is not your average support group. It’s real, raw, and full of wisdom from lived experience.
Each Tuesday for one hour, we’ll connect virtually to dive into the truths behind the system — the emotional, practical, and sometimes overwhelming realities of foster care from all sides:
🗣 What’s it really like to be a foster kid?
💼 What challenges do social workers silently carry?
🏡 What kind of support do foster parents need to thrive?
🤝 And most importantly — how can we, as a community, do better?
This is an open Q&A and conversation space — nothing off limits, no judgment. Just honest, helpful dialogue from someone who has lived it and works it every day — now parenting four foster youth of her own.
✨ Let’s grow, learn, and show up for these kids — together. Join us. Ask questions. Get answers. Make impact.
