This factsheet was created by the Cross-Over Youth Project.

HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:

The term cross-over youth is a fluid one. The cross-over youth is a youth whose life experiences with trauma put them in a protective child welfare system; later behaviours propel them into another system: the youth justice system.

This factsheet outlines areas of focus, key learnings, and best practice recommendations to be incorporated into youth peer mentorship programs.
