Data was gathered from 10 focus groups comprised of a total of 88 participants, including youth currently in foster care (n=19), foster care alumni (n=8), foster parents (n=21), child welfare professionals (n=20), education professionals (n=9), Independent Living Program staff (n=9) and other key professionals (n=2). Findings of key themes included: (a) self-determination; (b) coordination/collaboration (c) importance of relationships; (d) importance of family; (e) normalizing the foster care experience; (f) the Independent Living Program and (g) issues related to disability.
