Have you met Elmo's new friend Karli?
In May, during Foster Care Awareness Month, Sesame Street introduced Karli, a muppet in foster care. We are thrilled Sesame Street launched a new initiative to offer support to children, foster parents, and providers who serve foster families.
Our Therapeutic Foster Care team is well-aware that children in foster care, and the adults who care for them, need support and resources.
If you would like to learn more about our Therapeutic Foster Care program, and all the ways we support our foster parents and the children and teens in their care, please contact Rachel at rnewcomb@woodfords.org
Take a look at this video, "On Your Team" that features Elmo's dad offering his support to new foster parents, Dalia and Clem. youtu.be/RMXNqqfeynQ
