The transition to adulthood is an important process with implications for inequality. Both those with disabilities and those who age of out of foster care are vulnerable during this transition. This project examines the intersection of these groups, exploring employment, education, and disability benefit receipt, the supports these youth receive, and how these supports may mitigate risk in this transition. Findings suggest that those with emotional or mental disabilities face employment risks in the transition to adulthood, and that services may mitigate some of this risk and present unique benefits for youth with disabilities. For example, the odds of employment are greater and the odds of receiving disability benefits are lower among those who receive academic supports (orFTE=1.3, orSSI/SSDI==0.7), post-secondary supports (orFTE=1.3, orSSI/SSDI=0.8), education financial assistance (orPTE=1.3, orSSI/SSDI=0.7), and career services (orPTE=1.3, orSSI/SSDI=0.8). These services should be prioritized for funding, especially education financial assistance as a lower proportion of youth with disabilities receive than their non-disabled peers.

LGTBQ+ youth in foster care need unique support and acceptance; however, few case workers and caregivers receive specialized training. To address this, the Connecting: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Expression (SOGIE) eLearning was developed. This evaluation assesses whether attitudes and behavioral intentions regarding LGBTQ+ youth improved as a result of this training. Caregivers and child welfare professionals showed growth in many areas, including how important they felt it was to learn strategies and skills to support LGBTQ+ youth, as well as their confidence to care for LGBTQ+ youth. The Connecting: SOGIE eLearning is a promising tool for child welfare systems.

ABSTRACT This qualitative study of 19 long-term foster carers examined how they coped with traumatic events with children in their care and continued to foster children. Phenomenological methods revealed that they endured significant traumatic events regarding the children that had lasting impacts on them. While much of the related research focuses on indirect secondary trauma among foster parents, these incidents were experienced and interpreted more as primary trauma. Participants also reported an intense commitment to the children in their homes, a passion for providing a good home for them, and recognized that they benefitted personally from fostering children. Recommendations include solutions more closely aligned with primary trauma and a using veteran foster parents to support and mentor new carers.

ABSTRACT Family Team Conference (FTC) has been suggested as a promising practice model to improve child welfare outcomes. However, there is little understanding of developing an effective workforce to ensure FTC fidelity. Using data involving 891 caseworkers who implemented FTC in a Midwestern state, path analysis showed that both effective training and supervision that parallels the same principles of FTC are necessary conditions to enhance FTC fidelity either directly or indirectly by increasing caseworkers’ facilitation skills. This paper suggests that organizational readiness and ongoing support are essential for ensuring the high-quality implementation of family-centered practice in the public child welfare system.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative study was to explain whether leisure’s social and cognitive benefits could be found within a group of 12 young people in the Australian foster care system; representative of a highly vulnerable population, and how those benefits might be used to improve life opportunities post care. Case studies generated a cross-case thematic analysis which provided an explanatory framework for an explanation building process. Participants were found to be creating and using contextually based cognitive artifacts to resource, plan for, learn from or about, and resource their leisure.
