Whether it's a death or non-death loss, many youth in foster care are grieving. Grief is a natural and normal response to loss, and the way we support these young people can make a life-changing difference.
Dougy Center will soon be building upon our #UnderstandGrief campaign to raise awareness on grief-informed best practices for youth in foster care. Our Get Grief-Informed for Youth in Foster Care webpage will include numerous resources for child welfare professionals who support youth in foster care. Professionals will be provided with information on what it means to be grief-informed and how to take action to make meaningful change in a youth’s life.
The webpage and resources will be available starting May 1 in recognition of National Foster Care Month.
