Abstract: Children and young people placed in out-of-home care suffer from multiple problems more often than their peers, and the likelihood of their marginalization is significantly higher. Although aftercare services try to provide comprehensive support to care leavers, less attention has been paid to care leavers’ health symptoms in aftercare.
