Their transition period required them to have solid plans for their uncertain future towards independence. In further compounding their challenges was their being indeterminate given the uncertainties associated with COVID-19. It was therefore, essential for them to have the necessary support systems to aid them both during their period in care as well as when they left these centres.\n\nAim:\u00a0This study sought to explore available support systems for youth who left care during the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nSetting:\u00a0The setting of this study was Ekurhuleni metro municipality in Gauteng province of South Africa.\n\nMethods:\u00a0This was a qualitative study. A total of 12 youth who left care centres during the COVID-19 were recruited through purposive sampling to participate in semi-structured interviews. Data analysis followed Braun and Clarke\u2019s thematic analysis strategy, and trustworthiness was guided by credibility, dependability, transferability and confirmability.\n\nResults:\u00a0The findings revealed the existence of support from various systems including the CYCCs themselves, social workers from both the CYCCs and the communities, sponsors, primary caregivers as well as friends.\n\nConclusion:\u00a0Youth who leave CYCC develop relationships from the care centres. These relationships form the basis of their support, upon which they rely even after their departure from these centres.\n\nContributions:\u00a0The study highlighted the importance of considering the impact of COVID-19 on the CYCCs and significance of supporting youth leaving them during pandemics such as COVID-19.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/hsag.v30i0.2745","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,25]],"date-time":"2025-01-25T03:55:47Z","timestamp":1737777347000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Availability of support systems for youth who left child and youth care centres during COVID-19"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-7712-0021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fadzaishe B.","family":"Zingwe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/048cwvf49","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8434-7885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maditobane R.","family":"Lekganyane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/048cwvf49","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Adley, N. & Kina, V.J., 2014, \u2018Getting behind the closed door of care leavers: Understanding the role of emotional support for young people leaving care\u2019, Child and Family Social Work 22(1), 97\u2013105. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/cfs.12203","DOI":"10.1111\/cfs.12203"},{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ahmed, S.K., 2024, \u2018The pillars of trustworthiness in qualitative research\u2019, Journal of Medicine, Surgery and Public Health 2(2024), 1\u20134. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/jglmedi.2024.100051","DOI":"10.1016\/j.glmedi.2024.100051"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Akhtar, I., 2016, Research design, SSRN, viewed 23 April 2024, from https:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2862445.","DOI":"10.2139\/ssrn.2862445"},{"key":"ref3","unstructured":"Amissah, F.G., 2021, \u2018Transitioning from care to adulthood: Reintegration of young people leaving residential care in Ghana\u2019, Masters dissertation, Dept. of Social Work, University of Gothenburg."},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Arnau-Sabates, L. & Gilligan, R., 2015, \u2018What helps young care leavers to enter the place of work?
