Created in collaboration with trauma experts, seasoned mentors, and foster care alumni, the TLF podcast is designed to bridge training gaps for those mentoring youth with lived experience in foster care. 

Our on-demand series begins with essential topics including trauma-informed care, mental health, myths vs. realities, setting healthy boundaries, and defining the mentor’s role.

Ongoing episodes spotlight key education and community partners—covering everything from financial aid and trade school enrollment to career pathways, housing resources, and life skills support.

With a strong foundation in trauma-informed and survivor-centered models, this podcast equips mentors to foster resilience, encourage self-advocacy, and support youth leadership.
