Youth in foster care are transferred to PMC status when a judge identifies that it is no longer safe for the child to return to their original home. Thus, the child comes under the care of the state. Youth under PMC status are usually in longer-term foster care, which can last between several months to multiple years.
Interested in offering your time to CourtCare as a research participant? Are you interested in research that centers foster care youth with disabilities? Looking to collaborate with us to reach more PMC status youth? We'd love to hear from you.
