Caseworker Guide to Transition Planning for Youth
Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families
What do youth need from their caseworkers to succeed as they prepare for their transition from foster care? Youth need a place to live, a job, money, medical and dental care, a postsecondary education plan, personal records, an adult or adults to turn to for help over time, information about how to accomplish their short and long-term goals for the future, and many other resources. A skilled caseworker starts on transition planning early. For foster youth to experience a successful transition to adulthood, caseworkers need to develop a good transition plan with each youth. This report offers steps in guiding caseworkers for transition planning for youth.
