The research aimed to explore perceived effects, to identify effective elements of care, and to examine tipping points that marked significant changes during the care trajectory. Quantitative data from the BESTE questionnaire (N = 75; n = 60 parents; n = 15 youth) and qualitative data from interviews (N=14 families) were combined. Quantitative findings indicated that most parents (70.0%) and youth (73.4%) perceived the care as effective in terms of improvements in child, parent and family functioning. Qualitative data also revealed meaningful changes in child, parent and family functioning, alongside persistent vulnerabilities—especially in parental well-being and complex family contextual factors. Therapeutic alliance, intervention content, and organizational factors were confirmed as effective elements of care. Facilitating elements were mostly found in therapeutic alliance and intervention content. Organizational factors, including bureaucracy, waiting lists and fragmented collaboration, were frequently cited as hindrances. Tipping points were often linked to respectful professional interactions, diagnostic insights, and extra-therapeutic events such as changes in relationships or school settings. Findings underscore the importance of a systemic approach that includes attention to parental needs, contextual stressors and to informal support networks. Implications for practice include a holistic approach to incorporate systemic factors, including integrated parental support in youth care, strengthening alliance-building competencies, improving interdisciplinary collaboration and reducing organizational barriers. Further research is needed to examine the sequencing and integration of youth and parental care to enhance long-term outcomes.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148883473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with supplementary demographic surveys ( <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 16). Resource needs were identified at the practitioner, CSP, and SEFC levels. Practitioners emphasized the need for onboarding to university processes and the CSP, training about child welfare and higher education to fill knowledge gaps, clear guidance about program development and role expectations, supportive supervision, and connections with other CSPs and practitioners. Essential resources for CSPs included access to student information, programming space, increased staffing, connections with internal and external partners, and sustainable funding. Lastly, SEFC needed funding and scholarships beyond a tuition waiver/ETV, housing, and professional/personal development opportunities. Findings highlight the importance of strengthening campus infrastructures, institutional resources, and support. Implications are provided for higher education professionals, program developers, and practitioners seeking to strengthen CSPs for SEFC.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148883470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing literature often focuses on access to PSE, less attention has been paid to the ongoing structural exclusions that persist after enrollment, particularly among understudied populations such as young women utilizing welfare services from the periphery. To address this gap, this study examines (1) What are the experiences and challenges of marginalized, service-using young women during their integration into PSE? (2) What meaning do the young women ascribe to their social locations during their PSE integration? and (3) What perceived barriers shape their integration process into PSE? Using a qualitative phenomenological design, we conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with 12 Jewish young women from the southern periphery who utilized welfare services and were enrolled in undergraduate and vocational college programs. The study demonstrates that the educational pathways of marginalized young women who use social services remain shaped by structural and environmental exclusions, fostering ongoing non-belonging experiences within academic institutions. Addressing these barriers requires holistic, multi-systemic approaches that integrate educational, welfare, and mental health services.","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148883471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
