In this study, a student-led research team from UCLA learned directly from the youngest generation of foster youth transitioning into adulthood about the issues facing them personally and in relation to their family connections. We heard about issues that impacted them during childhood in the foster care system, what could have made their experiences and relationships healthier, and what supports and resources could still help them rebuild those relationships if they are interested in doing so. The information described in this policy brief is important because it is informed by participants' lived experiences and was gathered in a trauma-informed environment that valued youth agency and autonomy. In order to improve the lives of individual youth and their family connections, people working with foster children must seek authentic youth engagement, prioritizing their voices at every stage of case planning, program development, and system reform.
