Lisa Turcotte has been a Haven resource parent for over 11 years, opening her home to teens in need of safety and support. She is a consistent and vocal advocate for the children who have been in her care, and she does everything she can to provide the best possible support for them. Lisa has mentored many of Haven's foster parents and has been a great sounding board to resource families as they begin working with Haven.
Lisa recently shared a letter that she co-wrote with a child in her care.
We are grateful for all you do, Lisa, to help children learn how to advocate for themselves. Thank you for sharing this letter, which can be a valuable resource for other children and families who are struggling with emotional dysregulation and its impact on their day-to-day lives.
