Check out a New Blog! From Celia Center, Inc. Founder Jeanette Yoffe A foster youth behaviors are Hysterical because they are Historical. Read more here on how to be attachment and trauma informed: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-inner-life-of-foster-care/202509/understanding-foster-youth-behavior

Foster youth behaviors aren’t signs of defiance; they’re survival signals. Seeing through a trauma lens shifts stigma to empathy, creating pathways to healing and belonging.
