It explores how we can re-imagine child and youth care practice with African Canadian youth. This emerging paradigm aligns with child and youth care politicized praxis as well as trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches in the field’s literature. We highlight the importance of mobilizing critical and transformative theoretical frameworks along with an Africentric worldview to substantially support youth of African descent with a strengths-based approach. Moreover, the protective role of Black-affirming spaces is developed and articulated.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Child, Youth and Family Studies}, author={Daniel, Beverly-Jean and Jean-Pierre, Johanne}, year={2020}, month={Apr.}, pages={25-39} }
