About this listen

 Welcome to Unsettled: A Storytelling Project from DePaul. At DePaul Community Resources, we believe stories have the power to inform, inspire, unite, and make change. Join us for our second step in the storytelling project journey—Unsettled: From Hard Places. Listen as we dive deep into trauma and attachment, meet parents who are caring for kids from hard places, and explore how communities can do more to support those who need it. Unsettled is hosted and produced by Alison Wickline-Burns.© 2024 Unsettled: From Hard Places Social Sciences

She struggles with dark thoughts. But she also dreams of one day being a software developer and working for Google. She just doesn’t know if that dream is possible for someone like her … a former foster youth.

    2. Aging Out: Elias
    Feb 3 2022

    It was 2011. Elias and his family were living in Tanzania, Africa. In a moment, a split-second, their world was turned upside down. Elias’ father was tragically killed by a close family friend. A few years after that massive loss, the family made a move—thousands of miles away to Virginia as refugees. It wasn’t long before Elias and his younger siblings entered the foster care system.
