Youth involved in child welfare may benefit from programming that enhances their relationship skills given their susceptibility to engaging in high-risk interpersonal behaviors that can lead to challenges such as, engaging in or experiencing violence, housing and job insecurity, and poor physical and mental health. This research explored the feasibility of implementing an evidence-based healthy relationships program, the Healthy Relationships Plus Program - Enhanced (HRP-E), with youth involved in child welfare. Over 9 months, four HRP-E groups were facilitated at a Children’s Aid Society in Ontario, Canada, involving 28 youth. Interviews were conducted with facilitators (n = 5) and youth (n = 13) to examine their views of the program. Facilitators also completed surveys that evaluated the facilitation of each session and overall program implementation. A thematic analysis of the data was conducted and results indicated that the HRP-E was perceived as a valuable program that is relevant and useful for youth involved in child welfare. Participants highlighted trauma-informed practices and organizational resources that are required when facilitating the HRP-E within a child welfare context. The present findings address the theory-to-practice gap by illustrating the practical application of trauma-informed program facilitation. The outcomes of this study contribute to understanding considerations and best practices for implementing a healthy relationships program with youth involved in child welfare.

参与儿童福利的青少年可能会受益于提高他们关系技巧的计划，因为他们容易参与高风险的人际关系行为，这些行为可能导致挑战，例如参与或经历暴力、住房和工作不安全以及身心健康不佳. 这项研究探讨了实施基于证据的健康关系计划的可行性，即健康关系增强计划 (HRP-E)，以及参与儿童福利的青少年。在 9 个月的时间里，四个 HRP-E 小组在加拿大安大略省的一个儿童援助协会得到了促进，涉及 28 名青年。对协调员 (n = 5) 和青年 (n = 13) 进行了访谈，以检查他们对该计划的看法。协调人还完成了评估每次会议和整体计划实施情况的调查。对数据进行了专题分析，结果表明 HRP-E 被认为是一项有价值的计划，与参与儿童福利的青年相关且有用。参与者强调了在儿童福利背景下促进 HRP-E 时所需的创伤知情实践和组织资源。本研究结果通过说明创伤知情计划促进的实际应用，解决了理论与实践之间的差距。本研究的结果有助于理解与参与儿童福利的青年实施健康关系计划的注意事项和最佳实践。对数据进行了专题分析，结果表明 HRP-E 被认为是一项有价值的计划，与参与儿童福利的青年相关且有用。参与者强调了在儿童福利背景下促进 HRP-E 时所需的创伤知情实践和组织资源。本研究结果通过说明创伤知情计划促进的实际应用，解决了理论与实践之间的差距。本研究的结果有助于理解与参与儿童福利的青年实施健康关系计划的注意事项和最佳实践。对数据进行了专题分析，结果表明 HRP-E 被认为是一项有价值的计划，与参与儿童福利的青年相关且有用。参与者强调了在儿童福利背景下促进 HRP-E 时所需的创伤知情实践和组织资源。本研究结果通过说明创伤知情计划促进的实际应用，解决了理论与实践之间的差距。本研究的结果有助于理解与参与儿童福利的青年实施健康关系计划的注意事项和最佳实践。参与者强调了在儿童福利背景下促进 HRP-E 时所需的创伤知情实践和组织资源。本研究结果通过说明创伤知情计划促进的实际应用，解决了理论与实践之间的差距。本研究的结果有助于理解与参与儿童福利的青年实施健康关系计划的注意事项和最佳实践。参与者强调了在儿童福利背景下促进 HRP-E 时所需的创伤知情实践和组织资源。本研究结果通过说明创伤知情计划促进的实际应用，解决了理论与实践之间的差距。本研究的结果有助于理解与参与儿童福利的青年实施健康关系计划的注意事项和最佳实践。
