The association between strengths and post-residential treatment needs of youth in the child welfare system
2019, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :Among these youth, 39% had 2 diagnoses and 53% had 3 or more diagnoses. In addition, Wells and Whittington (1993) found that almost 90% of 111 youth in residential treatment were in the clinical range for behavioral or emotional difficulties, and over half were in the clinical range for challenges with social competency on the Child Behavior Checklist. Prior studies have demonstrated some effective components of residential treatment, including therapeutic relationships between service providers and residents, strong community ties (e.g., considering input from community providers for treatment planning), and provision of psychological services to families (Hair, 2005; Hooper et al., 2000).
