The team of four social workers voluntarily led a passion project to develop and publish The Youth in Care Chronicles. This book features the narratives of the lived experiences of former youth in care, now as resilient adults, who want their voices heard and stories shared. The narratives included in this book from 18 former youth in care provide a vulnerable and fresh look at moving beyond growing up in the child welfare system and turn towards the future with boundless hope and resilience. A critical element of this book is a learning guide co-written by the editorial team, which is an innovative tool to inspire and foster professional growth and development for social workers practicing in the child and youth care field, created to inform best practice.
