The care booklet contains advice passed down from youth who have aged out of foster care previously, along with testimonials from video interviews they recorded. There are also practical resources, such as building a budget, grocery shopping, and places youth can go if they need help. Additionally, there are activity pages with colouring sections, word searches, and blank journaling pages to encourage the youth to keep these booklets and use them to their fullest potential. We hope to have the booklet be mandatory within all regional family welfare agencies, and have the workers who work closely with the youth distribute the booklet to their clients around the ages of 16-17. This will give them time to prepare for the transition into independent living.
