Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the experiences of youth receiving Child Welfare Services (CWS) in Nova Scotia, Canada and their preferred relationships with different service providers and how these relationships may promote or hinder their resilience at different levels of risk exposure. Method: Qualitative interviews with 23 youth (aged 14–19) were analyzed using grounded theory. Results: The analysis revealed two core categories, relationship building and mentoring relationship as well as supporting themes that were modelled into a theoretical understanding of three distinct relationship patterns (parent-like, peer-like, and professional) that youth seek from their service providers. Findings discuss the category relationship building, comprising of two themes—youth mobility and multiple service providers; followed by a discussion on the three mentoring relationships. Conclusion: Implications address how salient features from these patterns of youth–worker relationships can be effectively integrated into service delivery.

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
