Fostering Success Coaching is a model of practice that takes into account the unique challenges that young people from foster care face as they exit a system of care.
Fostering Success Coaching skills enhance an individual’s ability to support a youth from foster care by assessing strengths and challenges in targeted seven life domains, by determining level of need, and matching optimal intervention and teaching life skills that strengthen youths’ healthy habits as they transition to their young adult years.
