    In 2014 a child entered foster care every two minutes (Statistics, 2014). Out of the four-hundred thousand children in foster care, twenty percent of those are teenagers between the ages of sixteen and twenty (Helping Youth, 2013). Out of that twenty percent, one in five teenagers will essentially emancipate or sign them out of care if they are not adopted before the age of eighteen leaving many jobless, homeless, throwing away education, and with very little independent living skills (Helping Youth, 2013). As well, once a teen is no longer in foster care any services they may have been receiving are completely stopped; in addition, they are also left without health insurance. This is particularly alarming since statistically speaking, foster…

    Foster Care a Trapped Door Is foster care a safety net or a trapped door? Children come into foster care needing a safe place. They need to be able to either find a adopted home, be reunified with their parents or parent, or live in a stable home with a family member. Instead, children come into the foster care system in which they move from foster home to foster home, without loving parents or a permanent family. While in foster care, if they have not been adopted by the age of 9, they will most likely be in foster care until they reach age 18 and “age out” of the system.…

    Youth in Foster Care and Transition to Adulthood Many youth are dependent on their families, receiving financial and emotional support. A youth experiencing foster care does not have the same support network making transition into adulthood challenging. Adolescents in foster care require more intensive monitoring of their health care needs in all aspects.

    In 2011, Statistics Canada reported that in Alberta, 5,500 children were in foster care, 1,145 of these children were aged 14-19 (Statistics Canada, 2011). Once these young persons reach the age of 18 they age out of the foster care system. Aging out of the system refers to the transition out of the foster care system when they reach the legal age at which the majority of other youth leave their homes in pursuance of independent living (Lee & Berrick, 2014, p.78). However, not only do the circumstances and levels of readiness vary between youth from stable families and youth in the foster-care system, they are also very different in their future opportunities and their means and resources they have to pursue them. Transitioning into adulthood…

    Transition of Youth Aging out the Foster Care System Every year, there are more than 30,000 kids who age out of the foster care system (Richards, 2014). In most states, the cut off age is 18; however, some states have increased the age to 21. When these kids finally reach the age of 18, they are left to the world with no support. Homelessness, hunger, lack of healthcare and education is what nearly 30% of the 30,000 kids are left with. More federal and state governments need to instate policies for the well-being and safety of the kids that are left to face our society without any support.…

    Emerging Adulthood is an ambiguous period in a person’s life. It is a period that most people do not know who they are as a person or know what to expect next. Throughout the first week of class we learned where the term emerging adults came from and how it became such a phenomenon in the field of Psychology. Arnett (2014) defines emerging adulthood as an age of identity exploration, instability, self-focus, feeling of in-between, and possibilities; which he called the key features of emerging adulthood. After learning about the five key features in emerging adults, there were three that stood out to be me; the age of identity exploration, instability and self-focus.…

    Some people believe that workaholism involves a personal reluctance to disengage from work and a tendency to work or think about work anytime, anywhere. Hamilton and Denniss define that workaholics are those “who are driven by inner compulsion” (2005, p.12). While others define workaholism as a form of self-imposed expectation of their performance in work. According to Quick, Henley and Quick, this expectation “can be directly related to the level of psychological involvement one feels toward that role” (2005, p.39). In brief, workaholism is a psychological addiction to work and it is an illusion of needing to keep working continually.…
