I hope you are doing well! It’s an incredibly busy time of year for most of us, so I appreciate you taking the time to read our newsletter. Last month I shared about what foster children experience when they go back to school.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, they are forced to move an average twice a year. They pack their meager possessions in a garbage bag, backpack, or shabby suitcase. Some children quit bothering to unpack. They also quit bothering to make friends, trust adults, or connect with teachers. Their ability to create meaningful relationships is broken by the trauma and they experienced and continue to experience. https://allkidsneedmusic.academy/2022/08/31/no-place-to-call-home-aknm-august-2022-newsletter/
