Children who are involved with child welfare service (CWS) agencies are among the most disadvantaged in our society. They have high rates of adverse childhood experiences that go well beyond norms (and more often than not grow up in families that experience a plentitude of challenges—namely, poverty, substance abuse, and housing instability). The result is an exceptionally high rate of behavioral health concerns that may precede, concur with, and endure well beyond the abuse [1].
