Abstract
For the past 20 years since I started working in the field of foster care, the number of cases of abuse handled by
child consultation centers has been steadily increasing, and temporary shelters in urban child consultation centers
are almost fully booked. The number of children in care is increasing from their mid-teens to late teens, and these
children have no place in their families or communities. Sometimes they seek help on their own, and sometimes
they are notified by their schools, police, or communities, leading to public support from child consultation centers
or support from various support organizations and groups. In this paper, I will report on the independence support
and care for recovery that I have been practicing in foster care. I would be happy if it provided even a small ray of
hope for those who are working to prevent suicide among children and young people who have various difficulties
in life, and to those who are doing their best to support each and every person in the field of daily support.
