In this episode of Stories from Foster Care, Andrew is speaking with Kai Brosnan. Kai spent time in residential care and he shares his lived experience in a way that dispels a few myths and encourages a better understanding of it. Kai speaks movingly about the people, organisations such as EPIC, and even the beloved pet who have been beacons of support for him on his care journey. He has just completed his studies in Social Care and will clearly be a strong and inspiring advocate for the care-experienced community in the years to come.
