Youth in Foster Care as Victims and Perpetrators of Teen Dating Violence
Chalmers, Colleen; Green, Tonika Duren; Kruger, Ashley
Journal of School Counseling, v16 n11 2018
Youth who experience child abuse and family violence have a greater likelihood of being a victim or perpetrator of teen dating violence (Foshee et al., 2008; Wolfe et al., 2009). This article discusses the impact of dating violence on foster youth's behavior, academics, and social life. Currently, there are very few resources and evidence-based practices for school counselors who work with this population. Recommendations are provided for (a) implementing and improving district policies, and (b) developing and implementing programs to prevent, identify, and intervene in violent relationships (Wekerle et al., 2009).
