Children and Teenagers Quality of Life in Foster Families

Abstract

Mitra Zarrati*

States place a high priority on the well-being of children since it has a long-term effect on kids' achievement as successful adults. State policymakers are eager to identify and implement strategies that will minimise the long-term effects for children and the costs to state budgets as they are aware that children and youth in foster care face long-term risks from their exposure to violence, child maltreatment, and other adverse childhood experiences. Fortunately, state child welfare systems may create an expanding set of evidence-based initiatives to greatly enhance children's wellbeing. The social and emotional health of children and teens in foster care is the main topic of this extended edition newsletter. The weekly will cover child abuse and trauma's effects on children's development, as well as the social and emotional traits and requirements of children in care. It will also look at state and municipal legislation and practises that address the welfare of children in foster care. The contribution of legislation to enhancing children's wellbeing will also be taken into account.
