EDITORIAL: THE TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD FROM CARE IN CANADA

  • Varda R. Mann-Feder Concordia University
Keywords: transitions to adulthood from care, care leaving, Canada

Abstract

This introduction to the special issue provides an overview of the status of transitions from care in Canada. Currently, few statistics are collected on youth in and from care and regional disparities contribute to a comparatively low level of services overall, as well as a fragmented approach to policies outlining the rights of  those who have grown up in government care. The contributions in the issue exemplify the growing interest in care leaving research and theory building in Canada, as well as the significant advocacy provided by care-experienced youth leaders , all of which augur well for the future of care leaving across the country.
