“…Researchers and policy makers have for several decades known that children in foster-care as a group perform poorly in the school and education system (Jackson & Martin, 1998). Now we also know from national cohort studies that school achievement is a strong determinant for a host of long-term psychosocial outcomes for all children.…”

A replication of the Helsingborg study (Tideman et al, 2011), was staged in the municipality of Norrköping 2008 to 2011. Results confirm the conclusions from the original study, that children in foster care can benefit from a working model aimed to improve school performance. Furthermore, a possible way to address poor numeracy skills by computerized working memory training was found. Implications for further research in active interventions to address underachieving foster children are discussed.

“…Perhaps, learning how to obtain more stable income can provide a sense of Safety/Security in that survivors can sufficiently nourish themselves without worry. Child abuse survivors are likely to experience higher rates of unemployment and homelessness (Jackson & Martin, 1998;Thornberry et al, 2001), and housing insecurity associated with maternal stress is directly related to abuse and neglect risk (Warren & Font, 2015). Food scarcity and housing insecurity may be related to lack of income, so acquiring job related skills that increase work stability and income can potentially help child abuse survivors eliminate food scarcity and housing insecurity.…”

“…There are a number of negative effects of childhood maltreatment that extend into adulthood, including higher rates of unemployment, teenage pregnancy, homelessness, alcohol and drug use, and mental health problems, as compared with individuals who were not maltreated as children (Jackson & Martin, 1998;Thornberry, Ireland, & Smith, 2001 (SES). Indeed, while controlling for gender and childhood SES, Herrenkohl, Seunghye, Klika, Herrenkohl, and Russo (2013) found that adult survivors of childhood maltreatment were more likely to be depressed, anxious, and suffer more mental and physical health problems.…”

“…Cette perception favorise, à son tour, une meilleure planification de vie, particulièrement dans le domaine professionnel. Jackson et Martin (1998) se sont eux aussi intéressés aux adultes ayant vécu en institution durant leur enfance. Ils concluent que le succès scolaire est un facteur déterminant du style de vie et de l'insertion sociale réussie de ce groupe de jeunes.…”

L’objectif général de cette recherche qualitative est de mettre en lumière les facteurs de protection, mais aussi les facteurs de vulnérabilité, présents chez des adolescents hébergés en milieu substitut, considérés comme étant résilients. Douze jeunes (six garçons et six filles) âgés de 14 à 17 ans et placés pour des problèmes de comportement ont participé à cette étude. Ces jeunes, placés depuis en moyenne 5,6 ans, ont été identifiés comme étant résilients (à partir d’une grille soumise aux intervenants et d’une discussion clinique). Deux entrevues ont été menées avec chaque jeune. Les résultats mettent en évidence les facteurs de protection environnementaux (présence de liens significatifs avec des adultes, notamment des intervenants, services de qualité et sources de valorisation) et individuels (confiance en soi, perception de contrôle, stratégies d’adaptation) qui ont favorisé la résilience de ces jeunes.The main goal of this qualitative research is to shed light on the protection and vulnerability factors in teenagers who are living in foster care and considered to be resilient. Twelve young people (6 boys and 6 girls), who were from 14 to 17 years old and who had been placed in homes because of behavioural problems, participated in this study. These young people, who had been in placements for an average of 5.6 years, were identified as being resilient based on a grid filled out by practitioners and on a clinical discussion. Two interviews were held with each teenager. The results point to environmental protection factors (significant relationships with adults, particularly practitioners, quality services, and sources of approval) as well as individual factors (will to succeed in life, perception of control, adaptation strategies) that fostered these young people’s resilience
