Earlier this year, nearly 100 youth in foster care had the opportunity to visit a unique setting.

Spending the day at Wolf Connection alongside wolves offered young people the space to discover new ways of understanding themselves, to be curious, and to have fun and enjoy the moment.

Experiences like these remind us that emotional support can take many forms.
