In this episode, Lynn Tonini facilitates a conversation between three individuals who work with youth aging out of foster care: Cheryl Williams, Founder and Executive Director of Fundamentals for Foster Care (San Antonio, TX); Erin NeSmith, Founder and Lead Coach of Grow Into You Foundation (Brandon, FL); and Ed Hajim, Author and Chairman of High Vista (Key Largo, FL). During this conversation, we discussed effective strategies to help older foster youth - and those who have aged out - learn coping skills that will help them strengthen their resiliency and their ability to manage through the difficult times in their lives.
