| Summary: | Young people transitioning from out-of-home care often experience poor long-term outcomes, including mental health and homelessness. This project used integrated administrative and longitudinal data from Victoria and Western Australia, with growth mixture modelling revealing subgroups with distinct trajectories of mental health and homelessness. Structural equation modelling revealed mediating and moderating factors influencing resilience. There is need for targeted, trauma-informed interventions to address the complex challenges faced by this population. |
