Listen "082. Accidentally Placed In Foster Care: Jeanette Yoffe's Story"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Jeff spoke to Jeanette Yoffe, a woman who wears many professional hats, but overall aims to educate the world about foster care and therapeutic practices. Her story is one that inspires. At 15-months-old, her mother - an Argentinian immigrant in Lower Manhattan struggling with severe mental health issues - dropped her off at what she believed was a child welfare center. She was mistaken and was accidentally placed in foster care. That initial separation and the many traumas that endured fueled her desire to become a social worker for children in the Los Angeles foster care system. She has developed a series of coping tools for foster kids and their caretakers. This was a fascinating conversation.
