兒童及少年經歷長期的安置服務歷程，終有一天必須面對結束安置的來臨，一旦結束安置服務，少年依法進入追蹤輔導階段，雖有後續追蹤輔導階段持續定期瞭解少年的生活概況、評估少年是否有再度受虐或遭疏忽情況的發生，實務上卻缺乏轉銜的服務規劃，使少年只能消極、被動式的配合相關政府單位或安置機構的安排，返回原生家庭或其他親友家庭居住，甚至在外獨自租屋居住，面對獨立生活的重大考驗。
研究者藉由少年主觀經驗陳述，瞭解其於轉銜服務階段接受「獨立生活第一桶金儲蓄計畫」的參與過程，儲備相關獨立生活能力，並累積有形、無形及內在資產，以因應結束安置後獨立生活過程之需求，開展獨立生活的第一步。本研究以深度訪談的方式，訪談9位少年，透過研究結果發現：少年之獨立生活能力養成從「被動式學習」到「創意式運用」；對於接受安置服務到結束安置後獨立生活的解讀，從「國家責任」到「為自己負責」；主觀解讀獨立生活的認知從「一個人」到「考驗自己」；獨立生活能力之建立從僅有「理財」、「租屋」到「多面向」的獨立生活能力；幼年時期的家庭失落感受持續影響少年獨立生活適應歷程；少年從安置服務期間的「生活依賴」，學習走向獨立生活過程的「自我獨立」。
