In this eye-opening episode of Voices of Fostering, we sit down with Victoria, a Senior Creative Care Solutions Practitioner who leads the Bridge to Foster program at National Fostering Group. With over 20 years of social work experience, Victoria is on a mission to help young people transition from residential homes into loving foster families.
Victoria breaks down common misconceptions about children in residential care and explains why many of them are only there due to a shortage of foster carers —not because of complex behaviors. She shares the profound impact of having consistent, loving adults who show up at every sports day, celebrate every milestone, and provide a place to call home even after turning 18.
