The question I proposed and was OK'd is
Continuously searching, losing my information by the touch of a button and searching once again, a particular author came into view each time. His name is Gerald P. Mallon and I have cited two of his many resources for this assignment. Each focus' on my area of concern though each shares a different and personal dimension throughout the readings.
There might be a time in which you find some interest in this area and therefore I will share the two resources:
There's No Place Like Home: Achieving Safety, Permanency, and Well-Being for Lesbian and Gay Adolescents in Out-of-Home Care Settings
Sticks and Stones Can Break Your Bones: Verbal Harassment and Physical Violence in the Lives of Gay and Lesbian Youths in Child Welfare Settings
The research skills I have learned on a weekly basis have 'snowballed' as has the information I have learned to find. What was once a 'gut-wrenching' thought of how I would ever manage this term in this class and all that was expected, has turned into a sense of blessings and gratitude. This is a class that, I feel, MUST be one of the FIRST a student at Brandman University is enrolled in.
However, as the saying goes; "Better late than never!"
Are
there different needs for LGBTQ adolescents in the Foster Care System?
I had a gut sense that this were the case when this class began as I pondered my topic matter. My interest was in both areas and I have come to learn that the needs of this population is vast. Though I mentioned at the beginning that I was having difficulties finding specific resources while researching, I have found that with each additional week, the amount of learning I am doing coincides with the amount of information I am able to pull up.Continuously searching, losing my information by the touch of a button and searching once again, a particular author came into view each time.
