Description
Book Synopsis
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY licence. Young people transitioning out of care towards independence, work and adulthood are on the edge of these phases of life. Considering previously neglected groups of care leavers such as unaccompanied migrants, street youth, those leaving residential care, young parents and those with a disability, this book presents cutting-edge research from emerging global scholars. The collection addresses the precarity experienced by many care leavers, who often lack the social capital and resources to transition into stable education, employment and family life. Including the voices of care leavers throughout, it makes research relevant to practitioners and policymakers aiming to enable, rather than label, vulnerable groups.Review Quotes
"The profound insights of 'Living on the Edge' shed light on a path towards a more empathetic and informed understanding of care-leaving journeys. This gem of a book is a must-read for anyone dedicated to the wellbeing of our youth, offering essential guidance on how to effectively engage with them and ethically co-create knowledge." Rawan W. Ibrahim, PhD, INTRAC
