Title: Fostering Success: Holistic Support for College-Bound Foster Youth
Presenter: Sharva Yvette Hampton-Campbell, EdD, LSW
Description: This presentation proposes an in-depth exploration of the challenges faced by foster youth pursuing higher education, with a central focus on their academic, social, and emotional well-being. I will highlight the critical need for a comprehensive support system that goes beyond academics, addressing the unique hurdles faced by this demographic. Drawing on research, case studies, and successful intervention models, the presentation will provide practical strategies for institutions and communities to implement. I hope to inspire collaboration and commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive environment that empowers foster youth to thrive academically and personally.
