Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, attention has been given in the foster family care literature to adolescents' readiness for living on their own following aging out of their foster care placement. This book offers ideas on ways to help adolescents master the tasks required to successfully prepare for independent living following discharge from foster care. It is practice-oriented and draws upon the experience of researchers, trainers, consultants, and families. The chapters in Part 1 examine the various dimensions of the problem including the concept of interdependence as the goal of services for this population. It also discusses recruiting foster parents, examining adolescent development, and the need for these young people to mourn their losses before they can move on. Part 2 considers meeting the challenges of preparing these adolescents for life after foster care from the perspective of policy and program. Emphasis is placed on the importance of involving biological parents as resources for adolescents and the resources that black foster parents offer to teenagers in their care. Part 3 focuses on practice methods and strategies in work with adolescents and their foster parents. Also discussed are the needs of minority teenagers; problems of maltreatment; discipline; and assessment tools that can measure the independent-living skills of adolescents.

Download or read book Child Welfare Placement Features and Psychosocial Adjustment Among Newly Emancipated Foster Youth written by Karishma Patel and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the individual and interactive influences of children's age of entry into the foster care system and the extent of their placement disruptions on later psychosocial adjustment among 172 newly emancipated youth (66% female, 84.6% ethnic-racial minority). Youth reported on their experiences in the child welfare system and their current externalizing behaviors (i.e., substance use and criminal behaviors) and internalizing problems (i.e., anxiety and depression). Regression analyses revealed significant interactive relations between age of system entry and placement disruption, which were further moderated by youth gender. Males who entered foster care at a later age and experienced a high number of placements evidenced significantly higher levels of substance use problems in young adulthood, but these relations were not significant for females. Criminal behaviors were elevated among foster youth of both genders when they entered foster care at a later age and also experienced a higher amount of placement disruption. There was a main effect of age at entry on anxiety problems with youth who entered foster care later in development reporting higher levels of anxiety; however, neither of age of placement, placement disruption, nor their interaction predicted later depression symptoms. This study was among the first to document the individual and interactive contributions of youth's child welfare experiences on later adjustment. The findings highlight the role of placement disruption as an important (and negative) influence on foster youths' adaptation, especially for males.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romantic relationships are important for development in adolescence and emerging adulthood, but less is known about the romantic relationships of different groups of children. This study investigated the group differences of romantic relationship quality during adolescence as well as romantic relationship satisfaction during emerging adulthood between biologically raised youth, adopted youth, and foster care youth. The study sample included 900 foster and/or adopted adolescents from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent To Adult Health, as well as 14,271 individuals raised by their biological parents. Romantic relationship quality during adolescence and romantic relationship satisfaction during emerging adulthood were measured through self-report of positive relationship experiences. Findings from hierarchical multiple regressions suggest that, after controlling for gender and depression, there are no statistically significant differences in romantic relationship quality or satisfaction among biologically raised, adopted, or foster care children. This finding suggests that, no matter which group children belong to, youth report equal experiences of satisfaction within romantic relationships during adolescence and emerging adulthood.
