Description

The Handbook of Foster Youth by Routledge provides essential insights into the lives of the over 400,000 youth currently living in foster care in the United States. With more than 20,000 young people aging out of the child welfare system every year, understanding their unique experiences is vital for professionals and researchers alike. This resource examines the various challenges faced by this population, including risks related to academic achievement, career opportunities, and mental health. It addresses serious concerns such as financial struggles, homelessness, and substance abuse, which can often lead to involvement in the juvenile justice system. By exploring these adverse developmental outcomes, the text provides a clear view of the obstacles these individuals face. Beyond the challenges, the book also looks at the strengths and positive assets that foster youth possess. It serves as a comprehensive guide for those working within the social sciences, anthropology, and sociology fields to better understand and support this vulnerable population.
