Abstract
In the child welfare system, transition-age youth (TAY), or youth transitioning from adolescence to adulthood, have increased risk of poor outcomes and are likely to benefit from traumainformed services and resources. This needs assessment aimed to identify strengths and opportunities for improving traumainformed training, resources, and services for TAY and TAY providers. Results from written surveys and focus groups show TAY and providers have varying perspectives about the effectiveness of training, resources, and services. Implications include the need to understand issues from TAY and provider perspectives as well as ways to enhance trauma-informed services, resources, and training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
