This is a time to meet other Focus on Youth foster parents, support and network with each other, enjoy a meal together, while learning and growing in your role as a foster parent. We can’t wait to see you there!
Join us for movie night! We’ll have hot dogs, popcorn, and a selection of candy to enjoy while we watch and learn from the acclaimed documentary ‘Paper Tigers’ . ‘Paper Tigers’ chronicles a year in the life of Lincoln High School in the community of Walla Walla, Washington. The kids who come to Lincoln have a history of truancy, behavioral problems and substance abuse. After Lincoln’s principal is exposed to research about the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), he decides to radically change the school’s approach to discipline. With the aid of diary camera footage, the film follows six students. From getting into fights, grappling with traumatic events in their lives, and on the cusp of dropping out, they find healing, support and academic promise at Lincoln High.
