Beitrag
Some young people require therapeutic care in extra-familial settings in order to prepare themselves to live in normative contexts. The CARE (Children and Residential Experiences) Program Model, developed by the Residential Child Care Project at Cornell University, is based on research evidence and practice wisdom in child and youth care, and is being implemented in over 40 settings in six countries. It is principle-based and designed to assist young people in care to heal the effects of complex trauma, develop a sense of normality, and prepare themselves for re-inclusion into normative environments. CARE settings include child welfare group homes, emergency shelters, residences for sex offenders, correctional facilities and a boys ranch. Lessons learned through quantitative and qualitative evaluation involving the perceptions of young people in care, the development of agency staff and changes in organizational culture will be presented for discussion.
