Foster and adoptive caregivers play a critical role in protecting children who have already experienced trauma, disruption, or harm. Beyond providing physical safety, caregivers are often tasked with navigating complex questions around boundaries, behavior, sexuality, and relationships—often without clear guidance or support.
Foster & Protect was created to equip foster and adoptive caregivers with a trauma-informed, prevention-focused approach to sexual abuse prevention. This resource helps caregivers understand how trauma shapes behavior, why foster and adopted children require a different approach to protection, and how to respond to sensitive issues with clarity, steadiness, and wisdom.
Inside this guide, caregivers will find practical tools and guidance for addressing:
Body safety and personal boundaries
Sexualized behavior and trauma responses
Grooming awareness and early prevention
Healthy relationships and appropriate connection
Gender confusion and identity questions through a trauma-informed lens
Written in clear, accessible language, Foster & Protect prioritizes adult responsibility, early awareness, and protective structure—without fear-based messaging or placing the burden of safety on the child.
Whether you are new to foster care or have years of experience, Foster & Protect is designed to strengthen your confidence, sharpen your awareness, and support you in protecting vulnerable children with care and discernment.
