Project Title: AfterCare Program
Project Description:

Problem Statement:
What is the specific problem? Youth who return home from foster care often face significant challenges in reintegrating with their families and communities. They may experience emotional and behavioral difficulties, strained family relationships, and a lack of support, increasing the risk of placement instability and re-entry into foster care.
Who is affected? This project targets youth in Sedgwick County, Kansas, who have been reunified with their families after a period of foster care placement.
Why does this problem exist?
Trauma: Many youth in foster care have experienced trauma, which can have lasting effects on their emotional and behavioral well-being.
Family Challenges: Families may struggle with poverty, substance abuse, mental health issues, or other challenges that contributed to the initial foster care placement.
Lack of Support: After reunification, families may lack the necessary support and resources to address ongoing challenges and maintain stability

Total Project Budget: 170,000
