This study seeks to ascertain the various reasons that girls run, as well as the strengths and challenges that care providers have found in their healing process.

A brief look at the research conducted by different researchers (Hakuno, Omori, Yamamoto, & Minigawa, 2017; Gottman, Gonso, & Rasmussen, 1975; Hay, n.d.; Shneidman & Woodward, 2016), reveals that cell phones can have a negative impact on the users, if used in excessive amounts. The current study uses true experimental design …

Scholarly articles were analyzed for common themes and research patterns, and the various strings of research identified were categorized into three main headings: Financial situation, financial influences, and financial consequences. The three major headings …

This overwhelming strain on state departments and non-profit placement agencies is compounded by the fact that there are not enough available homes. There appears to be a shortage of capable and resilient foster and adoptive parents. Thousands of children who are ready to be adopted do not have anyone to take them in, and thousands more float in the system until new families agree to foster. This seeming shortage of homes is absurd considering the wealth of compassion and capability within the American …
