Summary: | Orphaned and separated children (OSC) tend to have worse mental health outcomes compared to non-OSC peers. The purpose of this longitudinal study is to help better understand mental health outcomes within a population of OSC children of a residential care programme in New Delhi, India. Children were randomly selected across 11 group homes in 2014 (N = 89) and 2015 (N = 82) and interviewed for measures of self-concept, peer and guardian attachment, self-concept, depression, ego-resiliency and trauma symptoms. To understand the impact of a residential care programme on OSC children after coming of age, aftercare/alumni members (N = 32) were also interviewed in 2015. Descriptive mental health patterns are discussed as well as recommended for service application and further study. |
