Did You Know?
For children aging out of the foster care and welfare systems, prospects can seem very limited. Keys to Achieving Resilient Transitions (KART), a program of Rutgers' Center for Children and Families and the New Jersey Department of Human Services, helps ease the transition. In District 34, children participate in the program at the Isaiah House in East Orange. KART provides training, program facilitation, funding, and support to Division of Children and Families (DCF) funded group homes, residential treatment facilities, independent living programs, and community-based service providers. Each year, for a period of eight to 16 weeks, 100 youth attend weekly group sessions that focus on topics such as conflict resolution, self-image, goal setting, and substance abuse prevention.
