The Foster Youth Ally training was created to provide information and resources to promote an inclusive
and welcoming climate for students, staff, and faculty who have lived-experience in foster care, reduce
the stigma of foster care, increase awareness of the foster care community and resources, and create a
connection between trauma, learning, and development. It will further clarify the role of a Foster Youth
Ally in supporting and advocating for our children and youth in foster care. The training is based on the
book, It’s Not Drama, It’s Trauma: A Guide To Empathetic Trauma-informed Engagement With Foster
Youth For Higher Education Professionals.
