專訪播道兒童之家青年、導師及院長

TVB翡翠台星期日檔案就入住兒童之家及院舍孩子十八歲後、便要離開的社會服務議題作深入探討，訪問了播道兒童之家受助青年 – 銳明及勇明、導師及院長。3月17日的特輯，在播道兒童之家長大的銳明及勇明，以自己個案分享了18歲後要離開院舍、獨立生活的情況，及對前路的選擇。院長談及社會政策的不足、無家青年的困難，並介紹了播道兒童之家的青年家舍及支援服務，希望社會更多關注，扶助這群搖晃的楝樑。

縱然困難重重，銳明及勇明以堅毅、樂觀及積極的態度開展了第二人生。

「雖然路是難行，要自己用心，不要被其他事情拖累，我們應該趁年輕，鼓起勇氣往前衝。」
銳明

「可能很多人會關心支持你，但是這條路怎樣走，最後也是要看自己，面對前路，我會樂觀面對，不會埋怨自己的遭遇。」
勇明

他們真情的分享，標記了逆境之中的成長路。導師亦樂見他們的成長及改變。

對於無家或有家歸不得的青年，缺乏家庭住屋支援，徬徨無助，面對未來的路何去何從? 播道兒童之家的青年家舍及社區共住服務，除了提供廉價過渡性居所，更有導師輔導他們面對升學和就業的職涯發展、給予他們個人成長及獨立生活訓練、生師師傅配對及支援。

「現時政府其實沒有特別政策。18歲離開院舍的青年們很多學歷不高，又沒有家人支援，他們是童年缺失的一群，有些女孩很快便墜入感情陷阱，很快結婚或未婚產子，男的可能誤交損友… 他們在心路歷程上不是十八歲便是成年人，面對整個世界，我覺得要給他們時間成長，可以提供一些緩衝服務，讓他們有時間疏理… 是希望他們不要重蹈上一代覆轍。」院長羅美珍分享，語重心長。

十八歲後

節目重溫

現時全港有112間兒童之家、5間兒童院，分別提供約900及500個宿位，讓不同家庭問題的兒童，例如家暴、家人離世或疏忽照顧，經社會福利署轉介入住。兒童院舍由多間受資助的非政府機構營辦，入住的年齡上限多數為十八歲，孩子十八歲後，便要離開院舍。

這群青年離院後，有的返回自己的原生家庭，有的要自立生活，他們怎樣面對未來的路？
