Your hosts: Duane St.Clair
Today's topic: Foster Care
The United States has used many forms of care for children who were neglected or abused by their families. Orphan trains, poor houses and orphanages were just some of the methods we have used in the past. Starting in the 1950s the family foster care system and group home have become the way the United States and many other countries have used to provide care to children who need care because of neglect or abuse. The discussion for this session will explore how well this has worked from the perspective of a former foster parent and a consultant to a number of the agencies working within the foster care system.

Come to join us for our new “Good Morning, Howard!” zoom group. We will be following the new schedule as listed below:
Monday & Wednesday at 9:00 AM
Our goal is to provide Howard County residents an opportunity to come together in a relaxed atmosphere, to meet with others, and to participate in the discussion/activities of Health and Wellness. Our content may include using technology to connect with family and friends, gardening, exercise, music, movies, jokes, popular websites, and healthy diet.
Participation is easy because driving is not required. This social program is for TVIH members and older adults from Howard County. This program was popular in August and is continuing in September.
Volunteers (TVIH members) will take turns to serve as the hosts of the GMH zoom meetings. The hosts will greet the participants, make introductions, and give the feedback/suggestions back to the membership committee.
