@agingoutinst What a wonderful solution to a very difficult and scary transition for kids. A little love and care go a long way. Every county should replicate this program. It saves $ in the long-run. I wrote my story about what happens when such a place was lacking: jankeyes.com

BONUS COFFEE: Let's Not Talk About Thanksgiving with Peggy Rowe audioboom.com/posts/8404689-… via @Audioboom
I’ve always wanted to chat with @michaelshermer, the founder of Skeptic Magazine. This week, I did, and it was a lot of fun. Listen to the full episode on @Apple, and @Spotify, or any of your favorite podcast apps!
@agingoutinst It's always worth pointing out, in relation to this and other articles, that in the USA the term 'foster care' is generic and includes those in residential care as well as those in what we in the UK would call foster care. This is one of those articles that cheers you up.
Thank you folks in Foley, AL for reading and sharing #WalkToBeautiful if anyone else is interested in reading this book please log onto @amazon and order a copy there ➡️ #Softback: amzn.to/2sZaMPg #Kindle #Hardback #Audiobook

Well worth reading. Another reminder that the leaving care issues faced by young people in the UK are, in fact, global.
Every year tens of thousands of youths age out of the U.S. foster care system. In 1995, I became one of them on my 18th birthday. today.com/parents/essay/…
Me: What kind of work do you do? Patient: I work at a homeless youth shelter. Me: That’s cool. Remind me to tell you something awesome when we’re done. (Later.) Me: You’re doing important work. And sometimes, those youth grow up and become docs. Patient: 😭 Me: 😭
As noted before, the issues facing young people leaving care in the UK are very similar in many other countries. So are some of the solutions:
CA: "The additional resources provided through this program will go a long way in ensuring adequate housing for foster youth.” villagenews.com/story/2022/07/…
My scoping review of 30 years of research on fathers in foster care was just published! Research focuses on fathers and the #childwelfare system, few explore young fathers in #fostercare. We have a lot of work to do! Read it here: rdcu.be/cNRwW #NationalFosterCareMonth
@agingoutinst Thank you for reaching back and helping youth in foster care to be equipped with life skills as they age out.

@agingoutinst I just helped this 18 year old do their taxes for the first time and they got a tax credit for being a former foster youth. Advising them to put $500 in a secured credit card so they can start working on their credit score and practice budgeting for future expenses. Huge help!
