When considering how Fostering Hope Louisiana (FHL) serves foster youth in Louisiana, there is a tendency to focus on the smile because it’s “on your face” but make no mistake, our mission seeks first to acknowledge and address the internal trauma that youth experience as a result of abuse and/or neglect and being in foster care. We aspire to connect all FHL clients to trauma informed care but recognize that that service is not possible in all cases and in all regions, therefore, to bolster resiliency we give them a gift that will last them a lifetime and enable them to discover their inner beauty which is reflected through their smile to thereby equip them to embrace their future.
