***TRIGGER WARNING: Child Abuse and Child Neglect***
Teenagers in foster care face an uphill battle - not just in finding placements but in overcoming the trauma they’ve endured.
In this episode of Rights + Remedies, I sit down with Tiffani Dhooge, a relentless advocate for at-risk youth and CEO of Children’s Harbor, to discuss the realities of foster care and the power of community in healing trauma.
Tiffani shares:
🔹 How her career started in the broom closet of a foster care agency and led to national recognition
🔹 Why teenagers are the hardest to place — and what that means for their future
🔹 The heartbreaking reality of sibling separation in the system
🔹 How Children’s Harbor provides not just a home but a family for foster teens
🔹 The critical role of therapy, education, and mentorship in helping them rebuild their lives
With over 25 years of experience, Tiffani’s unwavering commitment to foster youth is changing lives - one heartbeat at a time.
