Founder & CEO of Foster Village Chrystal Smith [Video]

Today Patrick welcomes Chrystal Smith, Founder & CEO of Foster Village in Austin, Texas.

As a licensed foster parent, adoptive parent, and survivor of child abuse, Chrystal Smith saw the gaps in the system and the needs that were not being met, both for caregivers and for children intersecting with the child welfare system. It also helped her see how the families and children with consistent and therapeutic networks of support were the ones who ultimately had the most success in growth and redemption, inspiring the idea for Foster Village.
