Suicide prevention and intervention with young people in foster care in Canada

G Charles et al. Child Welfare. 1991 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Given the history of turmoil in their lives, foster children and young people coming into care are particularly at risk of suicide. Whether a crisis is successfully prevented, or treated and transcended, depends upon the ability of foster parents and agency staff members to understand the nature of the situation and to work together in dealing with it.
