Real Word Speakers Panel moderated by Olympic athlete and CASA volunteer Jessica Ramsey. The Real Word panel is comprised of youth and young adults who currently live or have lived in foster care after experiencing abuse, abandonment, or neglect by their parents or caregivers. During this presentation, Jessica will guide a discussion with the panelists about their experiences in foster care, such as what it’s like to move from home to home, how it feels to be separated from siblings, and how they coped in the face of adversity with the support of their CASA. This event is free and open to the public, though not appropriate for children under 18.
