The study explored challenges experienced, coping mechanisms employed, and support provided to care leavers who had transitioned from state residential care to independent living in Johannesburg, South Africa. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 care leavers. Key findings included the challenge of housing problems; insufficient food and clothing; and struggles to continue with their education and find employment. Care leavers exercised agency and resilience by drawing on personal motivation; crying; spirituality; and networking. Factors in the social-ecological environment that contributed to care leavers’ challenges included not qualifying for help after reaching 18 years of age; and a lack of formal emotional and material support or preparation before, during and after the transition These findings represents an issue of social justice and have implications for policy, practice and further research.","PeriodicalId":45151,"journal":{"name":"Child & Youth Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42365716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between liking of children and determining a diagnosis of child abuse and neglect among a group of students studying child development at a Vocational School (N = 193). The data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, The scale for the Identification of the Symptoms and Risks of Child Abuse and Neglect and Barnett Liking of Children Scale. It was found that the mean score of the scale for diagnosing the symptoms and risks of child abuse and neglect was 3.58 ± 0.45 and the mean score of the liking of children scale was 86.64 ± 14.0. The results of the regression analysis indicated that the liking of children did not significantly predict the scores of the sub-dimensions of determination of symptoms and risks of CAN, and there was no relationship between them (p > 0.05). Moreover, the results indicated that the level of diagnosis of child abuse and neglect should be improved.","PeriodicalId":45151,"journal":{"name":"Child & Youth Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47454674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiencing trauma and neglect at a young age is likely to lead to adaptive alterations in brain development, in part due to over- or under-activation of the body’s stress response. As a result, care-experienced children and youth with trauma backgrounds are likely to experience various neurodevelopmental difficulties, including executive function problems. There is a gap in training provision related to executive function in the context of neurodevelopmental trauma and its implications for current behavior, affect and cognition. Objective To conduct a feasibility and acceptability trial of an online training course for residential workers with care-experienced children, focusing on the impact of trauma on the development of executive function. The development of the training and an evaluation of its outcomes are described. Participants and setting Staff working in residential childcare across the UK were invited to participate in an online training and evaluation protocol. Methods Participants completed measures of perceived and actual knowledge before and after training. Completion rates, outcomes data and evaluation feedback was used to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the training, Results Of 318 initial registrants, 47.7% completed the training and post-training measures. Significant learning gains were found, along with (p < .001, d = 1.08) positive feedback from participants. Technological constraints were the most significant limitation. Conclusions An online neurodevelopmental trauma training is feasible and acceptable to residential childcare workers.","PeriodicalId":45151,"journal":{"name":"Child & Youth Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47228526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on ethnographic research at an Australian youth program that included interviews with young people, young and adult volunteers, and staff, this paper investigates the role young people play in determining, creating, and applying change processes for their peers. Through the mechanisms of “cultivating relatability,” “establishing a culture of support,” and “role-modeling alternative pathways,” new possibilities and hope were created. At the core of peer-support efforts was an attempt to increase social integration and a commitment to notions of equality and respect as well as the eradication of unequal power relations between adults and young people. The dual phenomenon of being both the recipient of peer support and facilitators of change processes for others has novel implications for youth programs that work with young people to enhance processes of empowerment and agency and promote positive youth outcomes. Such an approach to working with young people as engaged partners, which gives them a voice and, in particular, asserts the rights of young people to be involved in transforming and recreating their situations, creates opportunities that may both extend the reach and deepen the impact of youth services.","PeriodicalId":45151,"journal":{"name":"Child & Youth Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47101706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measures included weight, height, triceps skinfold (TS) and maximum handgrip strength (MHGS), socio-demographics food security, meal pattern, food choices, understanding of healthy eating, physical activity, risk-taking behaviors, and presence of symptoms of depression/anxiety. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify significant predictors of body mass index (BMI) and MHGS, which were assessed for clinical importance using novel criteria. Fifteen percent of male and 18% of female detainees were underweight, whereas, 17.3% of female detainees were overweight and 5.8% were obese. None of the males were overweight. Consolidation of results on the clinically important predictors of malnutrition for both male and female detainees led to the identification of four broad areas for intervention, including prevention of risk-taking behaviors, education on healthy eating, alleviation of food insecurity, and lastly prevention and treatment of depression/anxiety. We conclude that undernutrition is the most prominent malnutrition problem evident among young male and female detainees at entry into a correctional facility in the Western Cape, South Africa. Consideration of identified predictors is recommended for future intervention development.","PeriodicalId":45151,"journal":{"name":"Child & Youth Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44149723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
