About this webinar:
The care leaving process has become an issue of international relevance over the last 20+ years, with emerging and growing research in the Canadian context. This research has contributed to a better understanding of care leaving experiences and outcomes for youth ‘aging out’ of care. Research in this field has also helped to inform the development and evaluation of practices, programs, and interventions to better prepare care leavers and help them during their transition to adulthood.
Although research on care leaving in Canada is still limited, emerging scholars have been advancing the research agenda in different areas (e.g., judicialization, schooling, coping process of care leavers during the transition to adulthood, motherhood). During this webinar, Ph.D. candidates from CANTRAC will present their doctoral research proposals and provide a summary of how it addresses current research gaps in Canada. Preliminary practice and policy implications will also be discussed.
This webinar is intended to help professionals learn about and engage with emerging scholars on their research on the experiences of young people exiting the Canadian child welfare system and care leaving processes.
