When youth begin to establish romantic relationships, you may feel the need to give the kneejerk “use a condom” speech, but do you discuss the signs of a healthy relationship? Our guest Kat, a former foster youth, discusses her experience in relationships, both healthy and unhealthy, and what she wishes her caregivers would have said to her to help her navigate relationships.
Dorothy Daniels Hi, I’m Dorothy Daniels, I’m a pediatric nurse, a sexual health educator, a mom of 12, and a foster parent just like you. When I became a foster parent, I realized that caregivers oftentimes got overlooked with support, resources, and help during this journey because most things focused on the kids. Fostering Parenthood is that support for caregivers.
Kat is a former foster youth and a RHEP Youth Advisory Board member
