The Foster Care Crisis and What We Can Do | Foster Care Awareness Month

About this episode

Rebecca Britt discusses the foster care crisis and the importance of mentorship in addressing it.

At Stable Moments®, we make a bold claim: we are ending the foster care crisis — one mentor at a time. In this episode, I'm sharing an important presentation about the real roots of the foster care crisis and what it actually takes to end it. While systemic change is necessary, true transformation happens when we invest in the individual child — helping them heal, build self-worth, develop life skills, and break generational cycles. It's not just about finding more beds for kids in care — it's about making sure fewer kids need foster care in the first place. If you want to understand the foster care crisis on a deeper level, and learn how you can be part of the solution, this episode is for you. May is Foster Care Awareness Month — so it's the perfect time to listen, reflect, and share this message to spark change.
