Federica Foti works with vulnerable youth at the most critical stage in their lives, supporting their transition from foster care or refugee care to independent adulthood. In this episode, we talk about the lose-lose struggle of our modern foster care system, how youth workers manage to keep their sanity while working with the emotional ups and downs of teenagers, and what inspires her to keep going when everything in the system seems to be working against her mission.
