One area of practice that I am very interested is advocating for children in foster care, mostly teens that will be aging out of care. I am currently a supervisor for children who have been removed from their families. I personally working with children who have experiences abuse or neglect is something that is a huge part of my heart.
There are a lot of different social problems and policies that affect these children. Most children aging out of care often struggle with becoming homeless or having drug addiction.In January 2019 there were 29,927 children in foster care in Texas and 3,378 children waiting for adoptive families (Texas foster care and adoption guidelines).
Some ideas for my social change project I would like to try to advocate for more foster/ adoptive home for older children who are not able to find homes as easy. Some other ideas I would also to look at fictive kin providers that might not be officially family but someone like a teacher that the child has a good relationship with to see if they are able to provide a home foe the child. I also would love to even look at our aging out of care and see if we are able to find a policy to start that at a little bit of a younger age. This project may impact at least my kids that I supervise which is about 90 children.

I am currently working as an ongoing caseworker in the child welfare field. I advocate for the best interest of a child and/or their family almost daily in some capacity whether it is during a court hearing, a school meeting, or on a team meeting with other professionals. I feel that teens are often overlooked in the foster care system as they are viewed as less desirable because of their age and any behaviors or trauma that comes associated with caring them. For children in foster care that turn 18, they can be emancipated and which I feel can set them up for failure. Social workers need to engage in policy practice precisely because they often bring distinctive viewpoints into the policy -making process (Jansson, 2018, p 59). I feel that caseworkers that are currently in the field should be provided the opportunity to come up with policies or services that youth could benefit from as we are the ones working with the teen.
The social problem that underserving teenage youth in foster care can potentially face is be homeless, insufficient independent living skills, inability to budget, and substance use. It is important for there to be supportive services in place such as mentoring, finance classes, substance abuse awareness, and the knowledge of how to navigate resource in the community. Teenagers that age out of the foster care need caseworkers that are committed to them and their success once they turn 18 years old and choose to emancipate out of the system. Policies that are in place is that if the minor is not engaging or wishes to emancipate can do so with or without the proper supports in place.
One idea that I would consider for the Social Change Project is if a youth is wanting to emancipate, they must be able to show that they have the basic independent living skills. For example, they must be able to maintain their own housing and income. Another idea that I would consider is for there to be a specific unit within the child welfare agency that I work for that only deal with teenagers ages 15-18 so that they have the capacity to truly help and support the teen.
The project may impact teenage clients by helping them be more prepared to entire adult life and be successful in doing so by having proper supports and knowledge to do so.
