FLUX: Life after Foster Care
written by more than 100 alumni for young people in transition

Honest. Useful. Juicy.

"Think about how much learning, un-learning, and re-learning you've had to do. With each change (move, placement, family, situation, shelter, couch) you've had to unlearn the old rules and learn or re-learn the new set of rules. It's like earning a degree from the system. If you can do that, you can do anything."

With powerful stories, artwork, and guidance from more than 100 alumni, FLUX was written to support young people in the EMOTIONAL transition from foster care to adulthood. There are many places to learn about things like how to rent an apartment, balance a checkbook, get into college and other independent living skills. FLUX isn't about that part of transition. FLUX is an honest, useful and juicy look at what it means emotionally to become an adult after growing up in the system.

FLUX brings real-life expertise that can only come from those of us who have experienced foster care first hand. We explore bio family relationships, building support systems, parenting, and intimacy topics. We talk about our struggles and our successes. We share our hearts, our lives, and the clues we've picked up so far about how to find the good life.
