Abstract
This project listened to young people who live in homes with youth workers because they’ve had tough times with their families or foster carers. These homes are called ‘therapeutic residential care’ or ‘resi care’ for short. The researchers wanted to know what makes it easier or harder for young people in resi care to learn to trust people and to feel safe.
This document provides a brief summary of the insights shared by young people from Phases 2 and 3 of this research project funded by the Australian Research Council (LP210100177) and the Centre for Excellence in Therapeutic Care (CETC), a division of the Australian Childhood Foundation.
