Foster Families at KidsHealth
 
     KidsHealth is the largest and most visited site on the Web providing doctor-approved health information about children from before birth through adolescence. Created by The Nemours Foundation's Center for Children's Health Media, KidsHealth provides families with accurate, up-to-date, and jargon-free health information they can use.
 
Racial and Ethnic Identity
 
     Casey Family Programs developed Knowing Who You Are. It is a free, self-paced, interactive learning course that explores racial and ethnic identity. The course is designed to help adults discover:
  • Ideas for helping youth in foster care achieve a positive and healthy sense of racial and ethnic identity
  • Opportunities to investigate the impact of stereotypes, messages, and social influences on your own racial and ethnic identity.
  • Data about the impact of institutional racism on various racial and ethnic groups.
  • Strategies for addressing racism in your personal and professional life.

The Casey Family Programs e-course Knowing Who You Are, was a very rewarding experience for me.
 
Warm Regards,

     For each one of us, life is a continuing process of change: marriage, birth, adoption, a new job, divorce or death. Change is life's only constant. Some situations are hard to manage and we are faced with what feels like insurmountable challenges. We have no control of life's occurrences, but we can always choose the manner in which we deal with them. The choices we make will eventually determine who we are today, and who we will become tomorrow.
