Abstract
This project helps 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 these young people to learn to trust people and to feel safe.
This document provides a brief summary of the findings 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.
