Fostering a Brighter Future: How Foster Care Can Positively Impact Children's Lives May 01, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Rich has a conversation with Steve Acerno, Maggie Grant, Jennifer Pritchard, and Ramona Harrison.
May is recognized as National Foster Care Month, a time to raise awareness about the critical need for foster families and the valuable role they play in supporting children in need. This month-long observance highlights the unique challenges faced by children in the foster care system, while also celebrating the incredible impact that foster parents and caregivers have on the lives of children and youth. National Foster Care Month is an opportunity to honor the dedication and commitment of foster parents, social workers, advocates, and others who work tirelessly to ensure the safety, well-being, and success of children in foster care. It is also a time to encourage more individuals and families to consider fostering and to learn about the many ways they can support the needs of vulnerable children in their communities.
