Patterns of Kin & Fictive Kin Caregivers Among Children in the CW System | Research Briefs

Описание: Beyond Family: Patterns of Kin and Fictive Kin Caregivers Among Children in the Child Welfare System, Jennifer Osbourne, M.A. and Scott Leon, Ph.D.

Jennifer Osbourne presents her research in collaboration with the PACE Lab, as led by Scott Leon. Many families among the child welfare population extend beyond immediate family members. Though most children in care experience low levels of social support, various social support figures spearhead support through different activities. Their research has shown the effectiveness of the contributions that fictive kin provide for the child welfare system as a whole.
