We talk with a panel of former foster youth about their stories and what helped them survive their trauma and succeed in life.

In this episode, we cover:

• What were the two most important things in helping you heal and ultimately thrive after your years in foster care and early life trauma?
• Was their one or two people in your life who helped you overcome? What did they do to help?
• Why do you think you became a survivor when others in similar positions did not?
• If you are parents, how has your trauma from your early years impacted your parenting?
• While you are successful and are “survivors” do you still carry some of the baggage from your childhood?
• What advice would you give foster, adoptive, and kinship parents to be most helpful to the children in their care?
