This one-page English-language synopsis of the full report in Romanian titled, “Ce putem învăța de la tinerii cu experiență trăită în sistemul de îngrijire din Republica Moldova?” (What can we learn from young people with lived experience in Moldova's care system?), offers a compelling peer-to-peer perspective from 56 young people who transitioned out of Moldova’s care system.
The study highlights critical support needs in preparation for independent living, access to support services, and the emotional toll of institutional care—while also showcasing the resilience and advocacy potential of care leavers themselves. Also, the study surfaces a strong desire among youth to engage in reform efforts and peer networks like Youth & Experience (Y&E). For care reform professionals, this teaser is a powerful invitation to center lived experience in shaping more responsive, youth-driven systems.
