Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this project was to locate a potential funding source and write a grant to develop a program for pregnant and parenting adolescents in the foster care system of Los Angeles County, California. The proposed program will assist adolescents and their offspring through education, support, counseling, and socialization. An extensive literature review was performed to investigate the best way to create successful futures for this population. The Annie E. Casey Foundation was chosen as a potential fonder due to its similarity with the proposed project in mission statement, priorities, and level of funding. The foundation was also selected due to its eagerness to sustain family connections and its stated interest in assisting foster youth. Many adolescents in this population yearn for healthy, life-long relationships. The proposed program would give them the skills, confidence, and support that are necessary for creating these relationships and lifetime bonds with their children.
Book Synopsis Runaway and Homeless Youth by : Josiah Hughes
Download or read book Runaway and Homeless Youth written by Josiah Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no single definition of the term "runaway youth" or "homeless youth". However, both groups of youth share the risk of not having adequate shelter and other provisions, and may engage in harmful behaviours while away from a permanent home. The precise number of homeless and runaway youth is unknown due to their residential mobility and overlap among the populations. Determining the number of these youth is further complicated by the lack of a standardised methodology for counting the population and inconsistent definitions of what it means to be homeless or a runaway. Estimates of the homeless youth exceed one million. Thus homelessness among adolescents and young adults is a major social concern in the United States. In this book, the authors cite research indicating that youth may be the single age group most at risk of becoming homeless, yet comparatively little research has been done in the past decade on this vulnerable population. After reviewing the characteristics of homeless youth, the authors review recent research findings on the homeless youth population and interventions developed to address their housing and service needs. These include interventions directed at youth themselves (education, employment, social skills training) as well as family-focused strategies. The authors conclude with future directions for both research and practice. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.
Book Synopsis Affordable Housing for Single Parents by : Rita Eustaquio
Download or read book Affordable Housing for Single Parents written by Rita Eustaquio and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To uncover the hardships single parents experience with procuring affordable housing. For single parents to be able to procure permanent housing they need to be able to afford it. Permanent housing has important benefits for both the parents and their children because children have more opportunities to grow healthy, continue with their education compared to those that do not know where they will be sleeping for the night. Method: Using information and data collected from housing programs websites; this paper will review five programs that provide permanent housing to families, former foster youth, and other homeless or at risk of homelessness populations. Nine questions were used to gather the information to review the programs. Results: The preliminary results show that the five programs differ in services they provide their clients, these services range from shelters, temporary and permanent housing, job training to parenting, as well as other services their clients need such as childcare and mental health services. Discussion: This researcher would like to propose a "Gold Standard" program that would combine many aspects of the reviewed programs. More research needs to be conducted with the affected community to ensure that their voices are being heard and their needs are addressed.
Book Synopsis A Comparative Analysis of Emancipated Foster Youth and Case Manager Narratives by : Taelani Camacho
Download or read book A Comparative Analysis of Emancipated Foster Youth and Case Manager Narratives written by Taelani Camacho and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My research inquiry is understanding how foster youth understand success through de-institutionalization from the foster care system-- a form of reentry into society-- compared to the case managers of the system who formally determine whether or not foster youth are successful. The following research explores the complexities of success within a transitional housing program from the perspectives of case managers and youth. Conducted were semi-structured, open-ended interviews with 3 case managers and 9 youth. The complexities of success pertain to past experiences with care, institutionalization and de-institutionalization, and independence and interdependence. The study provides a guideline to what is needed to reintegrate youth back into society. Recommendations were made to be more inclusive of de-institutionalization processes as well as change the dominant ideology toward a shift of interdependence. Spaces that allow youth to transition back into society are valuable thus should be further examined and implemented.
Book Synopsis Investing in the Health and Well-Being of Young Adults by : National Research Council
Download or read book Investing in the Health and Well-Being of Young Adults written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young adulthood - ages approximately 18 to 26 - is a critical period of development with long-lasting implications for a person's economic security, health and well-being. Young adults are key contributors to the nation's workforce and military services and, since many are parents, to the healthy development of the next generation. Although 'millennials' have received attention in the popular media in recent years, young adults are too rarely treated as a distinct population in policy, programs, and research. Instead, they are often grouped with adolescents or, more often, with all adults. Currently, the nation is experiencing economic restructuring, widening inequality, a rapidly rising ratio of older adults, and an increasingly diverse population. The possible transformative effects of these features make focus on young adults especially important. A systematic approach to understanding and responding to the unique circumstances and needs of today's young adults can help to pave the way to a more productive and equitable tomorrow for young adults in particular and our society at large. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults describes what is meant by the term young adulthood, who young adults are, what they are doing, and what they need. This study recommends actions that nonprofit programs and federal, state, and local agencies can take to help young adults make a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. According to this report, young adults should be considered as a separate group from adolescents and older adults. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults makes the case that increased efforts to improve high school and college graduate rates and education and workforce development systems that are more closely tied to high-demand economic sectors will help this age group achieve greater opportunity and success. The report also discusses the health status of young adults and makes recommendations to develop evidence-based practices for young adults for medical and behavioral health, including preventions. What happens during the young adult years has profound implications for the rest of the life course, and the stability and progress of society at large depends on how any cohort of young adults fares as a whole. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults will provide a roadmap to improving outcomes for this age group as they transition from adolescence to adulthood.

This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.
