Teenagers are children who’ve physically grown but need care just as much as young people.
Fostering teenagers allows you to help vulnerable young people explore their potential. So often overlooked and branded ‘difficult’, these young adults have usually faced trauma, neglect or abuse where stability, boundaries and plain old-fashioned parental care may not have featured in their young lives. Physically, they may have grown, but emotionally, they are still children.
At Blue Sky, we believe that helping young people find their way in life, to achieve and reach their potential, is a privilege that brings huge rewards. We work alongside our foster carers to give them all the support they need, so they in turn can offer tailored support to meet their teenagers' needs and help them realise their goals.
Having their own bedroom, living in the security of your home and knowing you are dependable will enable them to thrive. You can help them explore their potential and positively influence their future - and in doing so, future generations too.
