COVID-19

Disasters share a common potential for significant ecological and psychosocial disruption at the individual, community, and societal levels, and are especially harmful to members of social groups in vulnerable situations. Older youth with foster care experience were acutely vulnerable to the economic and social harms of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the challenges faced by young people across the nation, our experts focused on research and policy advocacy that would help support the well-being of marginalized children and families.
