This month marks the start of National Fostering Awareness month.

Tusla released a statement saying “National Fostering Awareness Month is about opening the conversation, challenging myths and helping people understand that they may already have the qualities needed to make a life-changing difference for a child”.

To discuss their experience being foster carers, Andrea is joined by Maureen Gannon and Eileen Harkin.
