We dive into important conversations around the Foster Care System, trauma, and the support that families and children need during difficult times. We view the issues through the lens of the Commonwealth State of Virginia with a focus on Virginia Beach (our home base city for the podcast).
Disclaimer: today’s conversation will touch on sensitive topics such as trauma, but I believe it’s crucial to have these conversations, especially for those looking to support foster families and displaced children.
Joining us today is Dr. Katlin Knodel, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience at the CHKD Child Advocacy Center, where she’s worked with children and families who have experienced trauma
