The Children's Bureau has published a new guide on managing
psychotropic medications written specifically for youth in foster care: Making Healthy Choices: A Guide on Psychotropic Medications
for Youth in Foster Care. The guide was developed for the
youth audience and can serve as a valuable discussion tool for child welfare
professionals, foster parents, clinicians, health care providers, mentors, and
others working with youth. The guide provides ways in which youth can manage
powerful feelings and behaviors and make healthy, informed choices. It can
help youth understand how psychotropic medication can help, as well as learn
about other options that are available.
