episode Lauren Tremper: How America's Opioid Epidemic Fueled A Foster Care Crisis cover

Description

Across America, more than 400,000 children are in foster care. These days, it's largely due to the nation's opioid epidemic. The number of children and youth entering care due to abuse and neglect related to their parents' substance use disorders has skyrocketed. Meanwhile, the number of foster families can't keep up with demand. But an organization called America's Kids Belong is hoping to change that... working in states nationwide to empower communities to dramatically improve the experience and outcomes for children in foster care. Lauren Tremper is among those leading the charge to combat what experts call a solvable crisis.
