Description

Addressing a significant gap in the understanding of institutional care and its effects on adult life and identity, this chronicle examines lifelong experiences after leaving care. Using interviews with people who grew up in orphanages and group homes in Victoria between 1945 and 1983, this study explores how institutionalization affected future education, employment opportunities, relationships, health, and the implications this might have for policy and practice in the out-of-home care of children.
