ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Leaving Care," is focused on helping young people who are transitioning from living in care (like foster homes or group homes) to living independently. The study aims to understand how different support programs can help these young individuals improve their self-confidence, mental health, and ability to seek help when needed. Researchers will look at how these programs work and their impact on areas like frustration levels and overall satisfaction with life.

If you are a young person aged 15 or older currently living in out-of-home care, you might be eligible to participate in this study. There are no specific exclusions, so if you meet the age requirement and are in care, you can join. Participants can expect to engage in activities and discussions that aim to improve their transition to independent living. This study is currently recruiting participants, so it’s a great opportunity to contribute to important research that can help others in similar situations.
