Foster Alumni Mentors

Athena (AJ) is an amazing young lady in foster care with the sweetest disposition. She is a hard worker in school and is eager to do well in all of her classes so that she will be ready to tackle college in the future. AJ loves the outdoors, is an avid swimmer, and is always eager to help others.

Athena has been actively working on ways to manage her stress and anxiety. One of her biggest challenges is coping with loud, overwhelming environments. She wishes to have earplugs to help her stay calm and grounded in noisy crowds and offer her the peace she needs to sleep at night. It is important to her to find tools that support her well-being and reduce anxiety in everyday situations.
