Every day at Youth Villages, we are charged with helping children who have experienced trauma. They may have been abused or neglected or witnessed domestic or other violence in their homes or neighborhoods. Recently, our country has experienced terrible tragedies, and many parents are searching for healthy, productive ways to talk with their children about what happened.
Brooke Thames, and her husband Murray, have been fostering with Youth Villages for over four years. During that time, they have opened their home up to 15 children and have adopted three of these children with the hope of adding more to their family.
