Strong Starts is excited to offer this training to all of its stakeholders. Young parents face stigma and experience unique challenges balancing their own transition to adulthood while navigating parenthood. The resources and support available to them are frequently scarce and not at all developmentally informed. This presentation will highlight strategies for supporting young parents young with lived experience in foster care so that they can succeed and thrive. The two strategies include: supporting their dual transition to adulthood and parenthood; and identifying and strengthening their protective and promotive factors. Attendees will learn from the lived experiences of two young parents and their recommendations for policy and practice change.
