The aim of the article was the analysis of the problem of speech development in care and educational institutions and family-run children’s houses in Poland.

In this study, the authors analyzed the literature on foster care in Poland and conducted a narrative questionnaire with an educator who simultaneously holds the responsibility for teaching youth in foster care autonomy in order to identify factors that affect educational and vocational plans that foster care charges have.

Drawing on the extant literature, this chapter will present a multileveled discussion of the experiences of prejudice and bias foster youth face, with a focus on the systemic inequities among diverse youth in foster care, the individual challenges youth with different social identities face, socialization processes that can support these youth, and challenges foster parents face in supporting foster youths’ healthy identity development.

The aim of this study was to ask youth themselves how they experience the impact of traumas prior to living in a foster family.

This study estimated the impact of state and individual-level risk and protective factors on adverse 19-year-old outcomes among a cohort of U.S. transition age youth.
