Re: Former Foster Children as Mentors or Advocates;

["Rosalind Folman" <rosalindfolman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are also many former foster youth groups in the US wherein they are trained to be adovocates and to speak out to workers and fp on the children's perspective and what the children need.  The largest and most well organized is in CA, the California Youth Connection.

 

However, I have never heard of their being any research on the effects of these programs.
