Abstract: The purpose of this book is to provide a practical model for an adolescent independent living program. The benefits of this type of program for the adolescents, the public agency and the allied social service agencies are explained. The book addresses three key areas: 1) adolescent population and services provided by an independent living program; 2) tasks and activities in an independent living program for adolescents; and 3) methods for implementing an independent living program. This text provides resources, a bibliography, and examples of state level independent living policy/regulations.

The Work Appreciation for Youth (WAY) program is much more than an employment program. It is a long-term aftercare program for youth leaving the foster care system. This report is based on a 15-year study showing what happens to at-risk youth leaving residential treatment who are provided with long-term follow-up services focused on school, work, and personal development. The results: overall evidence that the young people in WAY have been set on a solid path toward self-sufficiency.

Provides a summary of current knowledge concerning adolescents who have serious emotional disturbance, in terms of epidemiology, effective interventions, and program models. It will also serve as a technical assistance tool for those who are providing, or preparing to provide, services to these vulnerable youth. Because multiple perspectives are needed to address the problems faced by transitional youth, the authors have attempted to bring together a broad range of information.

In the decade after high school, young people continue to rely on their families in many ways-sometimes for financial support, sometimes for help with childcare, and sometimes for continued shelter. But what about those young people who confront special difficulties during this period, many of whom can count on little help from their families? On Your Own Without a Net documents the special challenges facing seven vulnerable populations during the transition to adulthood: former foster care youth, youth formerly involved in the juvenile justice system, youth in the criminal justice system, runaway and homeless youth, former special education students, young people in the mental health system, and youth with physical disabilities. During adolescence, government programs have been a major part of their lives, yet eligibility for most programs typically ends between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one. This critical volume shows the unfortunate repercussions of this termination of support and points out the issues that must be addressed to improve these young people's chances of becoming successful adults.

Adjustment to adulthood and independence may be particularly difficult for youth in out-of-home care, since they frequently lack family and social supports as safety nets. This book reports on the results of a survey of youth-serving agencies conducted by CWLA and offers recommendations for the further development and support of independent living services.
