All4Ed Flash: Foster Youth Deserve More: Education, Health, and Hope
Too often, youth in foster care are left out of critical conversations about education, mental health, and support systems. But with nearly 350,000 young people in foster care across the U.S.—and 70% aspiring to go to college—it’s time to listen, act, and align. In this episode, we highlight findings from All4Ed’s new report, “Healthy Minds, Strong Futures,” which calls on federal policymakers to break down the silos between education, health, and child welfare systems. Because when systems don’t work together, students pay the price. We explore how trauma-informed schools, coordinated support, and mental health access can change the trajectory for foster youth—and why cuts to Medicaid and mental health services put that progress at risk.
