I Speak Change.

ISpeakChange

“My first month in the care of DCS was one of my most uncertain. New to my group home and only having met my case manager once, I had no idea I had access to legal supports when I needed help! If I had my own nifty ‘Know Your Rights’ Adrian_Megaphoneposter, I could have been aware I had rights as a youth in foster care and an attorney to defend them. For the first time since my case opened, I now meet with my attorney and Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) regularly. I’m legally able to empower myself and affect my case. If you’re still unsure about your rights as a young person in care, talk to your DCS Specialist and check out our ‘Know Your Rights‘ infographic from our PDF Library!“
