The speaker discusses the many risks that youth especially those in foster care may encounter in their communities, schools, churches, on social media, and at public events, with a particular focus on the threat of commercial sexual exploitation. Foster parents will gain practical strategies to help keep youth safe, including how to talk with them about these dangers, teach them to recognize warning signs, and ensure strong, consistent supervision. The session also emphasizes the importance of building trust and maintaining open communication to help youth feel supported and protected.
