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. Podcasts are just another way to connect because, in those moments where we feel all alone, we can reach out to our community by simply pressing play. In this podcast, I am going to talk to other foster parents about how to have some of the toughest conversations with their youth. We’re going to talk about sexual orientation, consent, sexual abuse, trauma, and foster youth rights. We’re also going to give you ways to connect with your foster youth and available resources at the end of each episode. So join us as we learn the best ways to support our youth as caregivers on their sexual health journey.
