TED Talks Daily

This podcast episode emphasizes the need to reform the foster care system to improve outcomes for youth. Key challenges include verbal abuse, neglect, and uncertain living situations. The speaker introduces Think of Us, an organization that engages foster youth in designing solutions for the system. In particular, the importance of kinship care is highlighted, as placing youth with relatives or trusted individuals provides a loving and stable home environment. By focusing on lived experiences and empowering foster youth through organizations like Think of Us, we can work towards making kinship care the norm and providing all children in the foster care system the opportunity to grow up in a supportive and nurturing environment.
