Research on protective factors for care leavers in independent living is limited, necessitating an expansion of theoretical knowledge to enhance their readiness for independent living. This study aimed to investigate the association between self-compassion, self-rated health (SRH), and self-efficacy in explaining the readiness of care leavers for independent living. A sample of 171 Israeli care leavers residing in transitional housing programs participated in the study using a self-reported questionnaire. Path analysis was employed to explore the direct and indirect effects of self-compassion, SRH, and self-efficacy on readiness for independent living. The study variables collectively explained 47% of the variance in readiness for independent living. Mediation analyses indicated that self-efficacy significantly mediated the association between self-compassion and readiness for independent living. Both self-efficacy and self-rated health served as mediators in the relationship between self-compassion and independent living readiness. Moreover, SRH emerged as a significant mediator in the association between self-efficacy and readiness for independent living. The study’s findings highlight the possible positive cascades initiated by self-compassion in resilience pathways, shaping internal experiences and leading to tangible outcomes in the capacity of care leavers to navigate independent living post-discharge from care. These findings can contribute to interventions that facilitate a successful transition to independence among care leavers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 108031"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142746173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most policies tend to recognise the significance of the child’s cultural, ethnic, religious and linguistic background, most appear to lack specific guidance of how to ensure relational and cultural continuity of children when placed in foster care. Overall, we find little specific reference to circumstances of children with migrant backgrounds in the policies. The paper critically discusses four patterns. The first is the policies’ emphasis on relational continuity of children’s adult relationships over peer relationships. Secondly, there seems to be a strong emphasis on the significance of parental contact, with much less attention to contact with family members like siblings, grandparents and other relatives. With one exception, we observe no reference to transnational family relationships. Thirdly, with little attention to cultural variations, the policies appear to presuppose that everyone share the norms and values of the Western and dominant culture. The last pattern points to an apparent dilemma or a difficult balance between attending to the child’s immediate care and safety needs simultaneously as cultural and relational continuity are promoted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 108040"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142719924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impetus for change includes the rapidly growing demand for services, chronic workforce challenges, systemic inequities, systemic failings, disproportionate representation of disadvantaged groups, and poor outcomes for many children subject to child protection intervention. Research suggests that public health approaches, focusing on primary prevention and population-wide delivery of interventions, are more likely to support the safety and wellbeing of children and families across the community, reducing the escalation of risk and the need for statutory intervention. Despite this, the preparation of the child welfare workforces across health and social care sectors required to implement public health approaches, and implications of current workforce shortfalls for such a transition has received little attention. Drawing on the findings from a child welfare workforce study in Australia (Russ et al., 2022), this paper considers the workforce challenges present in current neo-liberal child protection systems and looks to what is needed to engage families and communities, ‘suit up’ and equip workforces for preparing for system reform to shift the dial from risk-oriented responses to the prevention of child maltreatment across the entire community.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 108029"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142759724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the services were identified as having four functions: (1) guidance, (2) authoritative decision-making, (3) psychosocial support and (4) everyday support. These functions are prioritised differently in the services, but the services are not limited to a single service feature. This typology demonstrates that young people often need more than one form of support for diverse aspects of their lives. Second, the interviews highlighted the working method of people-processing, understood as categorising, assessing and guiding clients to other services. While earlier research has understood people-processing as a feature of specific services or organisations, it is a central method in all services. The service system’s high client volumes and requirements for efficiency make it ill-suited to long-term, relationship-based work, and there is an incentive to keep young people moving on a service pathway and process them forward.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 108027"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142703129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
