It highlights the concept of "compounded adversity," which affects their educational and employment outcomes, mental health, and overall life prospects. The author advocates for a new planning approach that prioritizes the perspectives and needs of care-experienced individuals, drawing on a model that incorporates their values around relationships and personal time. Despite some critiques regarding the book's structure and repetitiveness, it contributes significantly to the discourse on improving support for these young people as they transition to independence. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
