Helping Teens in Foster Care with Kelly and Ryan
Kelly is Miracle Hill's educational advocate for teens in foster care with Miracle Hill. Kelly understands the vast landscape of resources available to teens and young adults in the Foster Care system. Her job is to help identify which resources would be helpful to these teens and guide them through the process of utilizing the resources.
For a teen and young adult that chooses to stay in Foster Care, DSS offers many resources including basic training (like budgeting), college tuition scholarships, and other avenues that help a teen transition to independent, successful living. However, it can be hard for a teenager to choose to stay within a system that feels binding to them; often, these teens can't wait to be "free."
Yet, the relationships that many of these teens are able to build with foster parents, case workers, and other social workers, can help create stability within their lives and encourage them to stay within the Foster Care system and tap into the plethora of resources that can help aid them as they enter adulthood.
