Book Description

The research problem addressed through this study was whether exposure to spirituality in foster homes was related to daily functioning outcomes (socioeconomic status, family connections, life satisfaction, and low retention rate of familial traumatization) in former foster youth as they transitioned to adulthood. In 2021, 49,118 youth were in foster care in California (Youth in Care 2011aEUR" 2021). Although studies have examined spirituality and foster youth, previous studies lacked specific outcomes of foster youth as they progressed into adulthood (Andrade 2014). Further, the articles noted in this book what is known about foster care and spirituality regarding behaviors and life outcomes.
