Navigating foster care can be overwhelming for everyone. There are thousands of books by social workers and psychologists offering guidance on the best ways to handle the system and support children in care, but what about asking the young people who've been there?
This essential guide brings the voices of care-experienced authors to the forefront, sharing their first-hand knowledge and advice for making a real difference. From big-picture concepts like understanding healthy relationships to little things like scrapbooks as physical ways to hold onto happy memories, the authors discuss what really matters to children and young people in care. They explore how their experiences affected the way they felt and reacted during their time in care, providing vital context for carers and professionals.
Led by personal experience and supported by professional guidance, this book tells you what care-experienced young people really need you to know.
