Abstract: |
Many young people who make the transition to adulthood experience problems after their departure from secure residential care. While previous research has suggested that these young people are often still in need of support after they have left secure care, little is known about their experiences and perceptions during and after this transition. This study investigated these experiences for a group of 24 young people from two sites in the north of the Netherlands that had left secure residential care. The results show that many participants experienced problems during their transition from secure care, especially with regard to finances, school and employment, and living arrangements. However, a majority reported to have received support in the year following their departure. Relatively few moved to independence after their departure, which suggests that many were not ready for making a true transition into adulthood. |
