A chilling new report reveals over 100 care leavers aged 18 to 24 died in England last year — a death rate three to four times higher than the general population, with young women’s suicide rates potentially fifteen times worse. Many perished at age 18, precisely when state support vanishes, leaving them isolated and vulnerable amid mental health crises, homelessness, and addiction. Personal advisers often knew little about those they were meant to guide, meeting only every two months. Experts demand better training and mental health resources, while the government pledges £25 million for housing and urges communities to step in and support these young adults as they navigate adulthood alone.
