The guidance foster kids receive during their time in care is paramount to how they go about their lives aftercare. The month of April- Child Abuse Awareness Month- is when we take extra care to learn how to be better advocates for foster youth.
Foster, you can leave care with little to no life skills being taught or retained. To lower the number of former foster youth being a part of the homeless population iThrive has recognized a need that hasn't been met. To learn about the skill classes we offer visit our website!
During FBI raids around the U.S. in 2013, 60% of the child victims recovered from sex trafficking were from foster care.
Foster kids are especially vulnerable to every kind of abuse. That's why it is up to us to be aware of the statistics and keep an eye out for abuse signs.
As we close out the month of March while also surpassing the year mark since COVID-19 forced the world to slow down, may we remember our social workers across the Nation who continued to work tirelessly for the youth in our child welfare system. We thank you!
Thriving Thursdays: Life skills are not something you're born with but something you're taught. FY enter adulthood behind the curve - by not being taught these life skills. iThrive wants to fill that void. Learn more about iThrive & our "Skill Classes" at https://t.co/3ZBTPSka93

Happy Social Worker Month! Thank you to all social workers, counselors/therapists, and mentors who dedicate their lives and time to better the youth in the child welfare system. We can never measure the impact you leave on their lives. You're appreciated!
