What worked during your foster care? <br /> 2. What did NOT work during your foster care? <br /> 3. What would have worked in your foster care experience that you didn't have? <br /> Why? <br /> What did or didn't help or hinder our own community's foster youth? There is no conclusive research <br /> but only suggestions such as a permanent,positive adult or educational opportunities (Casey, Midwest <br /> Study). This project not only asks for those answers but it also addresses the ability to locate the alumni <br /> through current day technologies(Intellius). SFF is looking for any themes that can shed light on the <br /> experiences of Orange County's foster care youth to sharpen program delivery at SFF, Orange County <br /> DSS and potentially at the NC Division of Social Service level. <br /> Method—Focus Grou <br /> I.
