Psychological Impact of Foster Care

Introduction

Through the years, it has been founded that foster care can be deeply damaging to a child’s mental health. Children in the foster care system have more compromised developmental outcomes than children who do not experience placement in foster care.

Children placed in foster care, are more likely to develop and suffer from emotional, behavioral, and educational problems than children who are raised by abusive and high-risk parents.
