YAHA Yaps | Episode 3 | Youth Alliance for a Healthier Alaska

Thanks for tuning in! In this episode, YAHA member Star continues her conversation with Amanda Metivier, Executive Director of the non-profit Facing Foster Care In Alaska. After growing up in the foster care system, Amanda has become a champion for change.  Star and Amanda discuss how youth can advocate for themselves in and out of the foster care system, how the community can help, and what gives Amanda hope about foster youth in Alaska. This podcast was made possible with funding from the Alaska Department of Health, and the Division of Behavioral Health. And this Arts, Health, and Well-Being in Alaska project is supported, in part, by a grant from the Alaska State Council on the Arts with funding from Rasmuson Foundation.
