Research to improve policies and practices

Foster Care and Wellbeing of Adolescents: Research to Improve Policies and Practices project is aimed at gaining knowledge about wellbeing, from the nasal wellbeing of adolescents to family care. The project is part of a broader initiative implemented in partnership by UNICEF, the Department of Social Work and Social Policy, Faculty of Political Science, and the Institute of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade.

This research sought to identify differences between adolescents from biological and foster families, as well as to consider adolescents' experiences in foster care, but also attitudes of caregivers about the well-being of these children.
