“…More specifically for children in the out-of-home care system, Molin and Palmer (2005) referred to the danger of foster parents and birth parents being overlooked or excluded during their children's treatment. These feelings of exclusion can have a strong negative effect on the treatment process (Molin, 1988). Minimizing participation by exclusion can also undermine parents' sense of responsibility for and importance to their children (Molin & Palmer, 2005).…”

Children and Youth Services Review

a b s t r a c tNeeds-led child and youth care has three main characteristics: a continuous focus on clients' needs, client participation in the care process (including decision making), and practitioners' displays of needs-led attitudes and skills. The primary aim of this review was to establish whether there is evidence for using a needs-led approach when working with children and families in need. We performed a literature search to find reviews and outcome studies of child and youth care for school-aged children and their families which included the core characteristics of needs-led care, and related them to outcome measures. Only a few studies attributed positive outcomes of care to the attention given to clients' needs and goals. Most studies referred to participation in terms of clients' involvement or engagement. Higher levels of participation were associated with positive changes in child behaviors and parenting stress, client satisfaction, higher completion rates, safety for children, feelings of well-being and empowerment, and better service coordination. Significant professional attitudes and skills included listening to clients and working in active partnership with them. There is some proof for the relevance of core characteristics of needs-led child and youth care, although that evidence is limited by the lack of rigorous studies. This study indicates that needs-led child and youth care can make a difference. Future research should pay attention to the intertwinement of the characteristics of the needs-led approach in care.

“…The fragmented nature of the foster care system poses several dilemmas for MHS providers asked to assess and treat children. There can be questions about whose needs are being served by the MHS provider (Molin, 1988). For example, CPS workers may look for an MHS provider to validate their concerns about a child.…”

“…The treatment foster care movement attempted to expressly recognize and train foster carers as a part of the "treatment team" (Meadowcraft & Trout, 1990), but treatment foster care, also known as specialized foster care, is typically regarded as a defined service for a subpopulation of children in placement. Thus, foster carers as well as parents may be overlooked or excluded during their children's treatment, and their feelings about being excluded, often transmitted to the children, can have a strong negative effect on the treatment process (Molin, 1988). Exclusion also may undermine parents' sense of responsibility for and importance to their children.…”

Mental health service (MHS) providers confront questions of informed consent for evaluation and treatment of children in state custody who are placed in residential or foster care programs, where legal responsibility is shared between state and parent. There are ethical issues encountered by MHS providers who work with this growing population of children in placement. Matters of informed consent and access to information about treatment influence relationships with the parents, legal guardians, Child Protective Service workers, and the child. These specific concerns are addressed: informed consent, the right to be informed, and the rights of parents or foster carers to participate in a child's treatment. Recommendations for resolving dilemmas faced by MHS providers are discussed.

This is a study of the referral completion status of a cohort of children entering foster care, and the ability of selected factors to explain the completion of those referrals. It was found that although the children had multiple health problems their needs continued to go unmet. Two variables that accounted for 9% of the variance in referral completion were identified. The implications of these findings are discussed and issues for additional investigations are suggested.At the end of 1990 there were an estimated 407,000 children in foster care in the United States (Tatara, 1991). Nationally, approximately 75°Io of children placed in foster care are there primarily because of abuse, neglect, or abandonment (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1988).Because of circumstances precipitating placement into foster care (e.g., maltreatment) and social characteristics such as poverty, children coming into care are at high risk for medical and psychosocial problems (
