    Overview

    Think of Us (TOU) is a research and design lab committed to transforming the foster care system through data-driven approaches and the insights of individuals with lived experience. The organization seeks to address the intersectional social issues of homelessness, mental illness, incarceration, and human trafficking, all of which are closely linked to foster care. TOU collaborates with a diverse range of partners, including governmental bodies and local agencies, to identify effective solutions and leverage resources. Their initiatives include mobilizing former foster youth voices to influence policy, collaborating across different administrations to enhance federal policies, and implementing a virtual support services model to connect individuals impacted by foster care with essential resources. Think of Us places a strong emphasis on community engagement and innovation, striving to create systems that promote healing, development, and thriving for all individuals involved in the foster care ecosystem.
