In this episode we’ll be discussing my take on how we end the foster care crisis and how that ties into why I started Stable Moments. With the possibilities on the horizon of Stable Moments serving more and more children, I have recently decided to more boldy state our why, and that is ending the foster care crisis. Good efforts are always nice, but to what end? By making this statement, people realize, although our program is based on one on one mentorship, this work is directly related to changing the needs of our society. Creating the opportunity for children to make healthy transitions into adulthood means incarceration numbers go down. Homelessness numbers go down. Drug abuse, early pregnancy, and the number of children entering care is reduced. We can change big systems, but it is going to take truly understanding all involved, innovation and community. This is a big lift and its all of our responsibility. These children don't just go to the state. “The state” is us. It’s time we step up.

Stable Moments is starting a podcast! Stable Moments develops life skills in foster and adopted children through community mentorship. With nearly 500,000 children in foster care in the US, we have a foster care crisis, and I have some strong ideas about how we end this crisis. The Stable Moments podcast will be a place that unites all players involved and people affected by the foster care system, so we can work together to end the foster care crisis. We already know that children in foster care are at high risk to fall victims to addiction, early pregnancy, incarceration and unfortunately their kids entering the foster care system. This podcast will be a place to learn from all involved. We'll discuss the tough issues and break down barriers so together we can play an active role in the lives of these children. I hope you’ll join me.
We will be launching on Jan. 15 and you can tune in wherever you listen to podcasts. Make sure to subscribe, like and follow on social media. We’re on Facebook, IG, Twitter, and Youtube all with the Stable Moments handle.
