There are services available. There are case managers. There are psychological support services available, of course, with VAC.
What I am advocating for here is that these services be made more specific, that they're made more practical and skills based, and that they're made more social based.
A word that has come up a couple of times, which I wish I had included in my recommendations because it's good, is the word “preventative”. As I've mentioned before, rather than waiting for folks to express distress or fall through the cracks, I think that involves being on top of it beforehand and checking in with folks before that and ensuring that these services are made regular and made available. It also involves, as you say, treating that transition as a complex and supportive process that can prevent problems in the future.
