Child and Youth Care across Sectors, Volume 1: Canadian Perspectives

The first of a two-volume series, Child and Youth Care across Sectors covers a comprehensive, critical, and forward-looking examination of the continuously evolving child and youth care field in Canada. This edited collection guides readers through a wide range of settings and contexts where practitioners are engaged with young people, their families, and their communities. By drawing on a variety of experiences, the authors address crucial topics in today’s child and youth care practice, including gender diversity, anti-oppression, anti-Black racism, and colonialism.This groundbreaking series is the first of its kind to cover the breadth of Canadian child and youth care in its full diversity. Volume 1 considers traditional sectors such as residential care and foster care; often neglected contexts and groups such as French-language services, trans youth, autistic young people, and Deaf communities; and newly emerging and innovative sectors such as cyberspace and outdoor adventure settings. Bringing together top scholars and practice leaders from across Canada, this collection is an invaluable resource for students, practitioners, and educators in the field of child and youth care.
