Care Leavers Monologues

Today you will be hear the true life stories of young adults with care experience. These stories are not the stories of the young adults reading but true experiences and memories of young adults who were brought up in the care system.

After the stories there will be an opportunity to ask young adults with care experience questions in relation to being in care.
