Improving outcomes for young people transitioning from out-of-home care

该项目的中心目标是为从家庭外护理过渡到成年的年轻人提供所需的新知识，以支持基于证据的创新的开发、实施和传播。该项目意义重大，因为生活在家庭外照料的年轻人更有可能进入少年司法，成为少年父母，被社会排斥，有精神和身体健康问题以及吸毒成瘾。结果包括世界上第一个纵向数据证据基础，最佳实践范例，以及推进过渡途径和计划应用的指导，为维多利亚州和整个澳大利亚的未来创新提供信息，以改善年轻人照顾，由年轻人照顾和为年轻人照顾的过渡。

The central aim of this project is to generate the new knowledge needed to support the development, implementation, and diffusion of evidence-based innovations for young people as they transition from out-of-home care to adulthood. The project is significant because young people living in out-of-home care are more likely to enter juvenile justice, become a teenage parent, be socially excluded, have mental and physical health problems and addictions. Outcomes include a world first longitudinal data evidence base, exemplars of best practice, and guidance to advance the application of transition pathways and plans to inform future innovations in Victoria and across Australia for improving transition from care with, by, and for young people.
