“My parents didn’t die, but it felt like that.” When children and teens are separated from their families, they search for belonging while navigating the new contexts and people surrounding them. In this dynamic session, Dr. Monique B. Mitchell reveals the questions children have as they cope with ambiguity and loss in foster care: Why? What? Where? Who? How? When? Drawing from the voices of the youth themselves, Dr. Mitchell will highlight the six domains of ambiguity that youth in foster care frequently experience and will discuss grief-informed best practices to support youth in foster care who are grieving.
