If you are a Tennessee youth in custody or getting ready to leave foster care, this handbook is for you. It covers issues identified as important by youth who have been through the system and by individuals who work closely with youth in the foster care system. This handbook offers many resources and websites to help
you navigate life—both during and after foster care. It does not cover every issue you may face during your transition to adulthood, but it will answer some of your questions about leaving care such as getting and keeping a job, paying for school, finding housing, and receiving health care services.
