Findings from the RISE Youth Qualitative Interviews
|
|
|
This brief describes findings from interviews with nine youth who are participating in RISE. The RISE Initiative aims to reduce the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (LGBTQ) youth in long-term foster care, and improve permanency by decreasing heterosexism and transphobia in
caregiving settings. As part of the PII approach, a formative evaluation is being conducted to assess achievement of short- term outcomes: decreased heterosexism and transphobia. The formative evaluation is also monitoring initial implementation of the RISE interventions. Interviewed youth were
asked to provide details on their perceptions of RISE, foster care services, and changes in their lives during receipt of services. |
