[close] St Gonzaga's is a Catholic boarding school where you are sent if you are a "troubled" teenager. You can be sent here by the state if you are in the foster system, your parents, or your school. The goal of the school is to tame these teenagers and the staff is not held to much of a standard. Abuse by the staff is not uncommon and good staff members are few and far between.

[close] Hosted by Devereux Therapeutic Foster Care, this is a book club for people who are current foster parents, future foster parents and the people who know and love them. We'll read and discuss books related to foster care and adoption, focusing on the image of foster families in media, how stories mirror our own experience, and what the experiences of youth in care and other foster parents can teach us about our own families. Our book club will meet monthly in the Warwick, RI area.
