Abstract
![CDATA[With the widely accepted view that the period of adolescence has expanded on both ends of the continuum, adolescence now begins earlier and starts later than previously reported. Adolescence is believed to be ended when a young person has reached independence. For adolescents in foster care, independence is reported to end at 18 years of age when an adolescent is discharged from Out-Of-Home care. This research used a salutogenic framework to explore adolescents in foster care and their leisure with the view of the potential impact leisure may have in regards to career and educational transition into adulthood. The research involved face to face interviews with adolescents in foster care and their guardians on leisure and an adolescents potential. The presentation will overview the final findings of the research project.]]
