Abstract
ABSTRACT Social support is a key protective factor among transition age youth. Yet, for youth with lived experience in foster care, social support systems are frequently disrupted. This may disproportionality impact LGBTQ+ youth and youth of color, given their overrepresentation in foster care. Using data from the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative, we examined family and non-family support among foster care alumni (n = 1,377). Youth who identified as LGBTQ+ or were Black were less likely to report family and non-family support than their non-LGBTQ+ or White peers. Implications for child welfare and future research are explored.
期刊介绍：
Decisions made in the practice of child welfare have lifelong effects on children and their entire families which in turn affects every facet of society. To effectively practice in this vital field, social workers, psychologists, counselors, juvenile court judges, attorneys, and other child welfare professionals need to stay informed about the latest findings and important issues in public child welfare. To answer this crucial need, the Journal of Public Child Welfare provides a broad forum for theory-based and applied research in child welfare. Rather than limit itself to primarily private agencies, this essential journal provides the quality research and comprehensive information that child welfare professionals and public agencies need most.
