dc.description.abstractIn Beyond the Foster Care System: The future for teens Betsy Krebs and Paul Pitcoff provide significant insight into the current foster care system’s inability to prepare teens for adulthood. The authors illustrate some of the inadequate policies and programs currently in place through the revealing stories of teens transitioning from foster care to adulthood. A compelling argument is made suggesting that expectations for teens in foster care are far too low and efforts need to be made to empower these individuals through new policies and programs that have historically been absent from the field of child welfare. By chronicling the challenges and barriers of the foster youth the authors provide a face to the current foster care crisis in the United States.en_US
