Description

Many children and young people enter the care system already facing emotional challenges due to previous damaging experiences. Research and professional experience suggest that being in public care can often worsen these existing developmental problems. This book addresses the fundamental question of why public care can have these negative effects and explores what is required to alleviate these issues. In this work, Owusu-Bempah examines how to best support children in care to reach desirable developmental outcomes. By looking at the systemic factors that impact wellbeing, this text provides a new approach to improving the lives of vulnerable youth. It is a vital resource for those studying the social and developmental impacts of the care system, offering insights into how to better assist children in attaining positive growth and stability.
