The Transition-Age Youth Special Interest Group
This paper provides an overview of the history and current activities of a group of researchers focused on the experiences of young people who “age out” of foster care in the United States. These transition-age youth (TAY) often have intersecting marginalized identities, as youth of color, queer youth, and youth with disabilities are disproportionately represented in care. Members of the Transition-Age Youth Special Interest Group (TAY-SIG) condu…
The Role of Trauma, Mental Health Symptoms, and Suicidality in College Adjustment among Young Adults with a Foster Care Background
College is associated with positive outcomes in adulthood. However, many students with foster care backgrounds face challenges transitioning into college settings. Young adults with foster care backgrounds also experience mental health conditions and suicidal ideation at a higher rate than their same aged peers. This study examined the relationship between trauma experiences, mental health symptomology, suicidal behaviors and college adjustment a…
Screening and Assessment of Suicidal Behavior in Transition-Age Youth with Foster Care Involvement
Trauma-Informed Photovoice for Adolescents and Young Adults with Child Welfare Involvement
Youth who age out of foster care face a constellation of challenges associated with navigating the transition to adulthood and often do not have opportunities to express their perspectives. The purpose of this project was to partner with these youth to develop a trauma-informed photovoice program that can be freely utilized in child welfare programming. This youth participatory action research (yPAR) project engaged youth and young adults with ch…
Long‐term impact of the Fostering Healthy Futures for Preteens program on suicide‐related thoughts and behaviors for youth in out‐of‐home care
Youth in out‐of‐home care are at high risk for suicide‐related thoughts and behaviors (STB), yet there are no known efficacious interventions that reduce STB for this population. Fostering Healthy Futures for Preteens (FHF‐P) is a 9‐month community‐based mentoring and skills training preventive intervention for children in out‐of‐home care. A randomized controlled trial enrolled 156 participants aged 9–11 years who were placed in out‐of‐home care…
Navigating a flawed system
Family courts have been criticized for failing their core mission of rehabilitating families. Structural inequalities embedded in the family court system, combined with the role of adversarial judges and resource constraints, have contributed to the creation of a problematic environment for parents and families. In this paper, we examine the strategies that legal teams (attorneys, legal social workers and parent advocates) employ to serve child w…
An Examination of Coping Strategies and Intent to Leave Child Welfare During the Covid 19 Pandemic
The Role of Court Appointed Special Advocates (Casas) in the Lives of Transition-Age Youth with Foster Care Experience
Reproductive Justice for young Black women aging out of foster care
In this paper, we apply the reproductive justice framework to discuss how gendered racism disadvantages pregnant and parenting young Black women aging out of foster care. Specifically, we highlight the reversal of Roe v Wade as reflective of the United States’ long legacy of efforts to control Black women’s reproduction. We then discuss the structural factors contributing to the reproductive injustices of young Black women aging out of care, incl…
A burdened workforce
Culturally responsive assessment of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in youth of color
The significance of youth suicide as a public health concern is underscored by the fact that it is the second-leading cause of death for youth globally. While suicide rates for White groups have declined, there has been a precipitous rise in suicide deaths and suicide-related phenomena in Black youth; rates remain high among Native American/Indigenous youth. Despite these alarming trends, there are very few culturally tailored suicide risk assess…
Sources and Types of Social Supports and Their Association with Mental Health Symptoms and Life Satisfaction among Young Adults with a History of Out-of-Home Care
Young adults with a history of out-of-home care report poorer mental health and life satisfaction compared to non-care-experienced peers. Social support is a known protective factor for mental health. There is limited evidence, however, on the relationship between sources (e.g., family members) and types (e.g., information) of social support and mental health symptoms and life satisfaction in this population. Reporting cross-sectional survey data…
The View from the Other Side
This qualitative study brings together the voices of parents and their representatives, including attorneys, social workers and parent advocates, to understand the lived experiences of child welfare involved parents as they navigate Family Court, and how to improve it. The findings suggest that these courts are difficult to navigate for both parents and their representatives, and are often experienced as punitive and unsupportive spaces. The find…
Early Child Abuse and the Effects of Subsequent Witnessed Violence
Perceptions of agency leadership and intent to stay
Retention of the child welfare workforce is an ongoing challenge. In this study, we evaluate the association between child welfare workers’ perceptions of agency leadership and their intent to remain at their agencies. The sample included 119 frontline child welfare workers surveyed at three child welfare agencies in a large Northeastern city. Participants who viewed agency leadership more positively were more likely to intend to remain at their …
Sex Positive Social Work Education
Sexuality is an integral part of human behavior throughout the lifespan, with sexual health and well-being having an important impact on overall health and well-being, including increased life satisfaction and improved quality of relationships. As such, social workers encounter issues related to sexuality in all aspects of practice. However, very limited content on sexuality, especially positive sexuality, is included in the social work core curr…
Suicidal behaviour in transition‐aged youth with out‐of‐home care experience
The rates of suicidal behaviours in youth with out‐of‐home care experience, particularly those who are on the verge of emancipation, appear to be alarmingly high. The purpose of the current study is to highlight the rates of suicidal ideation and behaviour in these youth, illuminating the empirical risk factors that may increase their vulnerability. We offer a review of screening measures and suicide interventions that may hold promise for admini…

An Emotion Regulation Framework for Child Welfare Intervention and Programming
The capacity to regulate emotional states is a key building block of human development and one that is impaired among many children involved in the child welfare system. This article explores how the literature on emotion regulation can inform child welfare practice. While the concept of emotion regulation and its measurement suffer from a number of problems, the literature provides a scientifically validated, if complicated, view of how some chi…
