There are some children that preferred to go into these types of program versus connecting with a forever home. Everyone has different experiences. Some positive. Some negative. Some you don't dare share with anyone. Ms. Simone Branham will share her journey through independent living program.

Many parents may not realize that LGBTQ youth are overrepresented in foster care and are at higher risks of rejection and harm while in care. This webinar will first explain key terms and concepts that all foster/adoptive parents need to know in order to better understand LGBTQ youth. Research on the importance of providing affirming homes for these youth, as well as concrete tips for how to be affirming will then be presented.
