Other Resources

  • Casey Life Skills - devoted to serving children in foster care and children who are at risk for poor educational, economic, social, and health outcomes. This web site is devoted to providing free and useful tools to help young people prepare for adulthood. There are personal assessments in English and Spanish, a life skills learning plan, a listserv registration opportunity, and many other resources.

  • It's My Life: Employment - Career and employment success for young people from foster care is rooted in an ongoing journey connecting parents, caregivers, friends, mentors, advocates, communities, schools, and employers. Specific tools and strategies can help in this process. Expanding on the It’s My Life transition framework, this practical, concise handbook is intended for child welfare professionals and others responsible for helping young people prepare for transition to adulthood and the workplace.
  • Respite for Foster Parents - Foster families are expected to care for one or more children who have experienced abuse, neglect, abandonment, or drug or alcohol exposure. They also care for children who have disabilities, who are medically fragile or HIV positive. Many children in foster care demonstrate a significant amount of emotional disturbance as a result of abuse or neglect which can be very taxing for foster parents and their families.
