Navigating Quicksand: Supporting Cross-Over Youth

This webinar was hosted by YouthREX.

HERE’S HOW THE HOSTS DESCRIBE THIS WEBINAR:

This critical conversation began to explore the unique challenges faced by cross-over youth – young people involved in both the child welfare and criminal justice systems.

Dr. Judy Finlay, Justice Brian Scully, criminal defence lawyer Matthew Eaton-Kent, and social worker Jessica Salerno shared their experiences with the Cross-Over Youth Project, a four-year pilot project that set out to implement and evaluate a range of best practice options aimed at improving outcomes for cross-over youth.

We were also joined by Child and Youth Worker Shantel Hyndman to understand the issues at play for cross-over youth, discuss practice approaches and strategies that can support their wellbeing, and centre the voices of young people.
