Abstract
The transition from adolescence to adulthood is increasingly complicated in the United States. Many individuals suffering childhood maltreatment face additional transition challenges. For instance, one subpopulation of maltreated youth, foster youth, do not usually receive the types of family support their nonfoster peers enjoy when transitioning to adulthood. In addition, foster youth are more likely to be challenged in the areas of social/emotional supports, living skills, finances, housing, education, employment, physical and mental health, and justice system involvement.
