The disproportionate number of Indigenous children in OOHC is increasing at the same time as growing multi-jurisdictional policy and legal mandate for Indigenous self-determination, leadership, and cultural connectedness in the OOHC space.

Changing the Way We Care (CTWWC) conducted a study on the support by U.S. Catholic organizations for overseas residential care of children in 2018.
This report provides insights from the study on U.S. Catholic Church support for children’s residential care facilities outside of the U.S.
Its data provides a foundation for building effective engagement and messaging strategies, as well as helps inform advocacy and influence work concerning support for family strengthening and care for vulnerable children by the U.S. Catholic community.
În 2021-2022, CTWWC în parteneriat cu trei organizații ale societății civile: Keystone Moldova, Copil, Comunitate, Familie (CCF Moldova) și Asociația Parteneriate pentru Fiecare Copil (P4EC), a realizat o serie de cercetări la nivel național, inclusiv evaluarea complexă a șase instituții rezidențiale (IR).
Toate aceste analize urmează să servească drept puncte de reper în fundamentarea viziunii CTWWC în Moldova și implementarea acesteia, în strânsă colaborare cu autoritățile publice centrale și locale şi organizațiile societății civile, printr-o abordare colectivă, care presupune susținere…

Background
There is evidence that children in residential care institutions (RCI) have higher rates of psychological problems, suicide and criminal behaviour.

Further evidence is needed to formulate policies related to the mental health of institutionalized children in the local context.
Methods
A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out in a selected RCI, in Colombo, Sri Lanka. All children (> 4 years) and adolescents who have been in the institution for more than 3…

Positive outcomes were observed for children in residential care where well-functioning care teams existed, as well as…
