One of our deepest desires is for connection. When a child's need for safety and connection cannot be met by their biological family, foster families step in to provide that critical support temporarily. Yet, in the foster care system, where 400,000 youth are in care, 50-60% of foster families quit within the first year—often because they lack the tools and support they desperately need. At Chosen, we believe that “the antidote to shattered families is connectedness.” Connection is at the heart of our mission because we know it’s the key to all healing. When families thrive, children flourish. Watch the full video to discover Chosen’s CEO, Jenni Lord’s personal connection to our mission and why we are relentless in creating a system that goes beyond meeting just physical needs and equips families for connection. 🔗 Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/gGBSpFeD #Chosen #SystemChange #FosterCare #ChildWelfare #FamilyHealing #TraumaInformed #Chosen #Foster #Kinship #Adoptive #FamilyHealing

Our CEO, Jenni Lord, recently shared a deeply personal story with THINQ Mediaabout her brother’s journey through the foster care system—a system designed to protect but often failing to prevent children from falling through the cracks. Jenni witnessed firsthand that relational wounds can only heal in the context of relationships. This insight inspired her to establish Chosen, a non-profit dedicated to disrupting conventional approaches and creating a system that not only addresses physical needs but also fosters the relational connections crucial for holistic healing. Discover how Jenni’s experience and Chosen’s mission are driving a more compassionate and effective approach in child welfare. 🔗 Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/gGBSpFeD #Chosen #SystemChange #FosterCare #ChildWelfare #FamilyHealing #TraumaInformed #Chosen #Foster #Kinship #Adoptive #FamilyHealing

"The way a child expresses the fractures of their heart externally, is through behavior." - Jenni Lord In the child welfare field, we know behaviors like lying, stealing, and aggression often stem from deeper trauma. With 400,000 children in care and 50-60% of foster families leaving within the first year, the challenges can be overwhelming for both families and those of us who are dedicated to supporting them. Our CEO, Jenni Lord, recently shared key insights with THINQ Media about the vital role of connection in healing the unseen wounds of trauma. Her message shares on a national level the importance of equipping families and caregivers with the tools they need to nurture these connections.
