In the spirit of National Foster Care Awareness Month, we have resources to share for caregivers of children in the foster care system on behalf of our partners at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

The American Academy of Pediatrics
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers guides to help parents, teachers, and other adults involved in children’s lives learn how trauma experiences can impact children.

Fostering Health Program | Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
CHOP’s Fostering Health Program page provides resources, including books for children, to help families understand and navigate foster care and trauma experiences.

One Simple Wish
One Simple Wish offers an opportunity to help grant the wishes of children in foster care.

Sesame Street
Sesame Street provides resources for parents to help children in crisis cope with the challenges of their experience in foster care. These videos on relaxation and belly breathing may also be helpful.

FosterClub
FosterClub offers a range of website resources, as well as information about how youth who have experienced foster care can lead the way toward impacting change in their communities.
