dc.description.abstract | This scoping review provides the available evidence on support interventions and networks for youths
aging out of child and youth care centres (CYCCs), and makes recommendations for best practice to
alleviate the plight of youths leaving CYCCs. Thirteen databases were searched, resulting in the
retrieval of 80 articles, 26 of which met the review criteria: English, full-text, peer-reviewed, openaccess studies conducted between 2015 and 2020 on social networks and transitional services to
youths aging out of residential care. Recommendations are made for policy changes, extending the
age of eligibility and strengthening social support networks for youths transitioning into independent
living. | en_US |
