Foster Care and Me

In this real-life narrative, Judith openly details the challenges faced and overcome, at every stage of her journey through the Foster Care System. She shares her experience of exclusions from School and College, a run in with the Law and then as a Care Leaver, a period of poor Mental Health.

But thankfully her story doesn’t end there….

Through the pages of her book you’ll read how, with the right support, she has been able to defy the stereotypical odds sometimes placed on those in Foster Care, to becoming an influential Social Entrepreneur.

You’ll also find ‘Messages’ she has penned to inspire hope to Children In Care and Care Leavers, along with ‘Messages’ to Foster Carers, Social Workers, School Staff and our Government, a call to action, to make the urgent changes she believes is needed to help improve the outcomes and life chances of our Looked After Community.

I AM 365 AFFIRMATIONS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE WITH CARE EXPERIENCE + MOTIVATIONAL BOOK MARK

I AM 365 and motivational bookmark is designed to help Children and Young People with Care Experience overcome negative and unhealthy thoughts and change the way they think about ourselves, their lives and their future, and guide them to make positive changes in their lives.

Growing up in the Care System Children and Young People often believe and carry negative and unhealthy thoughts about themselves, because of what someone said about them or because of how they have been treated. The truth is none of the negative and unhealthy thoughts are true, but they repeat them as if they are and tend to live their lives by them.

To change that, here are 365 Affirmations, one for each day of the year, to help Children and Young People with Care Experience overcome those negative and self-sabotaging thoughts. The Affirmations are positive statements, that if regularly repeated out loud, can help them start to change the way they think about themselves, their lives and their future, and guide them to make positive changes in their lives.
