Quality of Relationships Between Residential Staff and Youth
Regardless of the type of residential care context, entering in care is an impactful event that involves the separation of young people from their relatives, as well as the need to adapt to a new context. This adaptation might be facilitated by the quality of relationships with professionals in these settings, which in turn may positively impact young people’s psychological adjustment. Purpose: The current systematic review aims to identify the f…
Youth-caregiver relationship quality in residential youth care
This study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of professionals working in residential care (RC) settings (i.e., caregivers and directors) about youth-caregiver relationship quality (YCRQ).

Recognizing children's emotions in child abuse and neglect
Past research has suggested that parents' ability to recognize their children's emotions is associated with an enhanced quality of parent–child interactions and appropriateness of parental caregiving behavior. Although this association has also been examined in abusive and neglectful parents, the results are mixed and do not adequately address child neglect. Based on the Social Information Processing model of child abuse and neglect, we examined …
Youth's rights and mental health
A rights-based approach calls for studies to explore further the extent to which rights' fulfillment in residential care affects young people's mental health. A focus on protective factors, such as supportive relations, can inform policies and practices in residential care which is critical for youths' empowerment and adaptive outcomes. However, existing studies on social support are mainly descriptive and qualitative in nature or focus on the ef…

Participants were 221 adolescents, 12-16 years old,…
