We Want To Hear From You!

Fact Forward is creating a training program that will provide foster caregivers with essential education, skills, and resources required to support expecting or parenting youth in foster care. This initiative is designed to address the unique challenges faced by this population, with the goal of reducing placement disruptions and enhancing permanent outcomes for foster youth.

Who do we want to hear from?

  • Foster parents and caregivers
  • Youth in foster care who are expecting a child or had a child while in care
  • Professionals who are involved with foster youth who were expecting or parented a child while in foster care.

Gathering this information will provide Fact Forward with better insight and ensure the program reflects the real experiences and realities of this population. We plan to conduct two activities with each population: an online survey and listening sessions.

Surveys 

Youth Survey

Audience: Young people aged 18 and older who are currently expecting or parenting while in foster care OR Young people aged 18 and older who were previously in foster care while expecting or parenting.
