PAL LIFE SKILLS
PAL LIFE SKILLS
The PAL program also conducts Casey Life Skills Assessments for youth between the ages of 14 and 17 to help identify their needs and strengths in various independent living skills, including self-care, relationships and communication, housing, money management, transportation, work and study life, career and education planning, civic engagement, navigating the child welfare system, and looking forward. The assessment provides youth and their caregivers with information about key target areas that the youth may need help with while preparing for adulthood.
