Adolescents and young adults receiving child welfare services constitute a vulnerable population, with an overrepresentation of mental health issues and past trauma, often exacerbated by a difficult transition to independence. Current support focuses mainly on material needs, lacking specific interventions targeting psychological resilience. This study draws on literature demonstrating that the development of emotional skills and post-traumatic growth are major protective factors promoting psychosocial adaptation and mental health.
