Episode #3: Kids at Risk Action: LGBTQ Foster Care, Suicide, & Ground Truths
Audio: Kids at Risk Action: LGBTQ Foster Care, Suicide, & Ground Truths
Summary:
In this emotional episode of Kids at Risk Action, Mike, Emma, and Michael confront the harsh realities faced by LGBTQ+ youth in the foster care system — a population far too often isolated, unsupported, and at devastating risk of homelessness, suicide, and trauma. They share staggering statistics, heartbreaking stories, and expose how systemic failures, family rejection, and discriminatory policies compound the suffering of these vulnerable children. The hosts call for urgent reforms, including LGBTQ+ competency training, school protections, accessible mental health care, and policies that affirm rather than punish identity. Above all, they challenge listeners to listen, speak up, and fight for a foster care system that truly protects and uplifts every child.

KARA has been funding the Financial Literacy Project, INVISIBLE CHILDREN Campus Programs, public presentations, books, and social media for many years. We have had a really impactful 25 years thanks to our followers.
But here’s the reality-as we are an advocacy group not providing service we live on donations alone. We want to keep the momentum going but we need the funds to do so…
So, we are asking for your help as a way to support all our efforts going forward. Please consider a monthly donation of 5 or 25$ to sustain KARA’s ongoing efforts.
An additional choice, would be to sponsor a our new Spotify Social media platform for $500 and receive recognition for you or your organization. Thank you to those who have sponsored a KARA projects in the past!
