RESOURCES
We believe in allowing youth the opportunity to reclaim their own power, access their own resources, and take positive control over their lives. To this end, we support youth in care to share their own stories strategically and have developed many resources that youth and supporters alike can use to assist in their journey.
We also conduct qualitative research on specific issues that are important to youth in care, to produce resources that youth and supporters alike can use to advocate for positive improvements.
