Leaving Care

Leaving care refers to the transition process where young people who have been in foster or residential homes move toward independence, such as living on their own or with family. It involves practical support like housing, education, employment, and emotional guidance to help them successfully manage adulthood. This process is essential because these young individuals often lack the traditional family support networks, and responsible agencies aim to prepare and empower them for self-sufficient, stable futures.
