Child and Youth Care Across Sectors, Volume 1

Description

"The field of Child and Youth Care (CYC) has grown and expanded tremendously over the past three decades. This edited collection is the first book available to Canadians that comprehensively explores the field of CYC practice in Canada. Volume 1 provides a current, critical, and forward-looking perspective on the wide range of settings and contexts where CYC practitioners are engaged with young people, their families, and their communities. It covers traditional sectors such as residential care and foster care, often neglected contexts such as services in Quebec, trans youth experiences, autistic young people, and deaf communities, as well as newly emerging and highly innovative sectors such as cyberspace, post-secondary institutions, and outdoor adventure settings. This volume brings together top scholars and practice leaders from Canada in their analyses of a range of sectors where CYC is increasingly a core profession. "--
