    What does it take to break the cycle of child abuse, support families, and help young adults who have experienced foster care build successful lives? In this episode of FLA Law on the Radio, we spotlight two important Tampa Bay-area community organizations: Ready for Life and the Family Hope Center. Host Jacqlyn Bryant with Perenich, Caulfield, Avril & Noyes welcomes Kathy Mai, CEO of Ready for Life, and Diamond Davis Johnson, Director of the Family Hope Center, for an informative and inspiring conversation about supporting foster youth, young parents, families, and children. Ready for Life was created to support young adults aging out of foster care and has grown into a broader network of services designed to help the “fostered and the forgotten.” The Family Hope Center focuses on child abuse prevention and family support, helping parents develop the skills, confidence, and resources they need to create safe and nurturing homes.
