Children in foster care with greater medical complexities are at risk for undesirable placement outcomes. Youth with disabilities are more likely to be placed in group homes or institutions due to lack of placement options. This population is faced with multiple challenges. Childhood exposure to adversities often lead to behavior problems, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, maladaptive coping, and lowered school performance. However, not all children exposed to adversities develop problems, and this is due to resilience. Resilience is the ability to overcome stress or adversity, or it is resistance to environmental risks. Resilience and Coping Intervention (RCI) helps individuals to identify their thoughts, feelings, and coping strategies, and can be beneficial in targeting resilience in foster children. In this proposed study, RCI will be administered to medical fragile children with depression aged 10 to 16 to assess resilience. Coping and resiliency will be measured with Children’s Coping Strategies Checklist (CCSC), Child Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (CSDQ), and The Hope Questionnaire (HQ).

Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.

Understanding Looked After Children is an accessible guide to understanding the mental health needs of children in foster care and the role of foster carers and support networks in helping these children. The authors provide foster carers with an insight into the psychological issues experienced by children in the care system, and the impact of these issues on the foster family. Chapters cover cultural, social and legal structures associated with foster care and both the relevant child psychology theory and examples drawn from real-life situations. The authors give advice on how to address common psychological issues in collaboration with multi-agency professionals, as well as how to access to statutory services. They also explain the possible impact of assessments on foster children and the causes and management of foster carers' own feelings of frustration, anger or disappointment with social and mental health services or the placement itself. Chapters are complemented by case studies, and the book includes a helpful glossary to common terminology. Understanding Looked After Children is essential reading for registered foster carers and those considering fostering, as well as adoptive parents, and a useful reference for trainee and experienced practitioners in the care system, including social workers, psychologists, counsellors, teachers and others looking after vulnerable children.

Research strongly suggests that children in foster care exhibit higher rates of mental disorders compared to children in the general population and while they tend to receive more services, many still do not received the care they need. The present study seeks to compliment the existing body of research on mental health in foster children. The study is based on a secondary data analysis of the National Survey for Child and Adolescent Well-being. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between two indicators of emotional wellbeing, externalizing symptoms and mental health service use using the Long-Term Foster Care sample. Two indicators of emotional wellbeing--depression and trauma symptoms, along with externalizing symptoms were first examined to determine if a sufficient proportion of the sample fell within clinical range on these measures. Due to an insufficient subsample of children who fell within this range, these outcomes could not be related to service use. A follow-up analysis was conducted that examined the externalizing and internalizing subscales of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and their relation to service use. Significant relationships were found between those children who had a single diagnosis of either or externalizing or internalizing disorders, and those who had a dual diagnosis. Those children with a dual diagnosis tended to receive the most services. Implications and areas for future research are discussed.

Caring for troubled adoptive/foster care children can be both harrowing and heroic. Many of today's foster and adopted children come from backgrounds where they experience not only the loss of previous caregivers, but have also suffered from abuse, sexual exploitation, or neglect. Individuals who invite these children into their homes often find themselves in a therapeutic role that can tax and exhaust. Troubled Transplants focuses on these children, their backgrounds, and their deleterious impact on the interaction and environment with the foster or adoptive family. The authors provide suggestions about behavioral roots and practical strategies to address and improve these issues.
