Do you know about Young care leavers? Young care leavers are individuals who have been in institutional or foster care during their childhood and have now aged out of the system. They often face unique challenges and difficulties as they transition into adulthood and independence. These challenges can include financial instability, lack of support networks, difficulty securing education or employment, and mental and emotional health issues. Despite these challenges, many young care leavers are also resilient and capable of achieving success with the right resources and support. Advocacy and programs aimed at assisting care leavers can make a significant impact on their lives and help them to overcome the obstacles they face.
