Listen "How Kathy Searle and Raise the Future are Connecting Youth with Families"
Episode Synopsis
Kathy Searle, LCSW (Vice President of Utah Programs at Raise the Future), joins Utah's First Lady, Abby Cox, to discuss her experiences with adoption and how they have shaped her work today in helping to find families for children in foster care.
We also talk about the need to provide support to adoptive families, how adoptive families have to navigate the reality of expectations, and why community fear can have such a negative impact on foster families and their choices to adopt.
Then, we dive into Raise the Future’s mission of connecting youth with families.
