Abstract

This revision of Relational Child and Youth Care comes after nearly fifteen years from the first expression of the characteristics and is based on extensive feedback and observations from around the world.

This paper summarises how genetically-informed research designs can help disentangle genetic from environmental processes underlying psychopathology outcomes for children, and how this evidence can provide improved insights into the development of more effective preventative intervention targets for adoption and foster-care families.

In this qualitative study with four Child and Youth Care Centers in a town in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, focus groups were held with young people in care and their care workers to discuss preparation for leaving care and aftercare services and the evaluation of these by each group of participants.

The present study explores child welfare workers’ perspectives on collaboration challenges specific to child welfare cases that also involve intimate partner violence (IPV).

The purpose of this paper is to validate measures of professional self-efficacy for detecting and responding to child abuse and neglect presentations, and then evaluate a clinical training programme for health professionals in a tertiary-level hospital in Vietnam.
