13. Friday Keynote Session (6 PM to 9 PM)

AEP: What Foster Parents Do In this keynote, Dr. Strayhorn draws on years of research and compelling data to argue the importance of AEP for foster parents, support staff, and mentors. AEP has three components: (a) A-awareness of the issues, E-explanation of the trends & challenges, P-promoting promising solutions/producing results. He will use each component to highlight what we know about foster youth challenges and successes, barriers to their success, and strategies for ensuring their success in the 21st century.

(941-4) Dear Agency, Can I Come Home for Christmas? (Cheryl Reber)This workshop looks at how we prepare teens not to live "independently" but "interdependently." The average age that young adults leave home in the United States is now 27; yet our youth, who have been abused, neglected, and moved around, are supposed to be out on their own much sooner. This workshop presents ways caregivers can help young adults build the network of support they will need once they "age out."
