May is the month, we nationally recognize foster care, and raise the awareness of teen pregnancy prevention. This weeks focus is on opening up discussion on how the dynamics of foster care and teen pregnancy affect abused children.

I have never experienced living in a foster home, nor ever been a pregnant teen; but I have worked with many who have. It has always been a joy not only experiencing them in a teaching capacity, but also as Godchildren, some of them becoming my family members through adoption, and also adults as friends who lived as foster children growing up.

I’ll begin with a little back history of both foster care and teen pregnancy prevention to give you an idea of how and why they exist.

April is the month, as a nation, we raise the awareness of child abuse. Last week, we talked ways to help abused children and adults molested as children as they come forward disclosing what has happened to them.

This week, our focus is to discuss how we are able to support them through our community involvement. Whether it’s your time or resources, everyone has something to offer. Getting involved in your community not only has its benefits for the victims and survivors, there are benefits for you too.

Tune into the episode as I share 10 benefits for you to get involve, 7 different ways of getting involved in your community to support these individuals, and how I serve in my community as a volunteer.
