Receive $50 for two hours of your time participating in a new foster care focus group
Deadline: Friday, April 21
Youth MOVE National is partnering with Rutgers University on a research project aimed at learning more about how states are monitoring the use of anti-psychotic medications for youth in the foster care system. An important aspect of this project involves learning about the experiences and preferences of young people who were prescribed anti psychotic medications during their time in foster care. In order to do this, the Rutgers team will be hosting several web-based focus groups with foster care alumni from across the country. Youth MOVE National is helping to find young adults with lived experience in the foster care system as well as with anti-psychotic medications who are interested in sharing their feedback. All information gathered will be used to support system leaders in making much-needed improvements in the foster care system.
