From the article: "This study illuminates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on parenting current and former foster youth. In line with other research, the young parents in this study were coping with immense stress while doing their best to meet their needs and those of their families. Parents shared detailed information about the types of parenting stress, isolation, limited resources, and lack of social and financial support they were experiencing, conditions that existed previously but were significantly exacerbated by the pandemic."
