As the Listening and Led by Youth in Foster Care: Grief, Hope, & Transitions (L.Y.G.H.T.) program continued to offer peer support groups throughout the holiday season, the L.Y.G.H.T. team shared this gift, the “May I... (A Daily Affirmation)” poem. Written by L.Y.G.H.T. Founder and National Director, Dr. Monique Mitchell, this poem was shared with teens and young adults residing at all our L.Y.G.H.T. community sites. The poem was originally published in the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) publication, Living in an Inspired World: Voices and Visions of Youth in Foster Care.
As we start a new year, our hope is that this daily affirmation will affirm to youth their inherent worth, strength, and instill hope for their future. We want to thank all L.Y.G.H.T. program facilitators, Clinical Support personnel, and administrators for their commitment to supporting the L.Y.G.H.T. program and the participants during this time in their lives.
