"I'm Glad that I was Given a Second Chance to Live": The Buffering Impact of Turning Points in the Lives of Young People with Foster Care Experience.

Young people with a history of out-of-home care placement are at risk for a host of adverse outcomes, yet many demonstrate resilience by young adulthood. One mechanism by which well-being may be achieved is through a turning point (TP). This study had two key questions: (1) What do TPs look like for care-experienced young adults? (2) Does having a TP buffer the impact of early adversity on young adult well-being? Participants (=166) were interviewed in pre-adolescence and again in young adulthood.
