Showing up for the children in our community is vitally important. But often, not knowing where to start or how to help becomes a barrier to getting involved. My guest this week, health coach and proud foster mama, Diane McMahan, is here to assure us that there is something we all can do to support these children (even if it isn’t in the ways we expect)! 

 

In today’s episode, we dive into the journey of foster care - Diane’s personal experiences as a foster mother, trauma-informed parenting, and how to get involved in the opportunity to break barriers and foster hope for the children in your community. 

We’re exploring:

• Diane’s experience as a foster parent & how she started this journey
• The various ways you can get involved in the foster care system (and how to support the cause without fostering)
• The resources & training available to foster parents
• Trauma-informed parenting & some powerful insights on the role trauma could be playing around you
• And more
