Central Plains Center for Services

Talena grew up in foster care, moving around a lot, which made it hard for her to do well in school. She has some developmental delays that add to the challenge of learning and daily life skills. However, Talena is very creative and loves theater arts, where she feels confident and can express herself.

Talena is currently working with an independent living coach to learn essential life skills, including budgeting, grocery shopping, and money management. Her goal is to gain the skills needed to save and manage her money effectively, allowing her to thrive as she moves towards independent living in the future. Talena wishes for a budget book to help point her in the right direction.
