Published purpose

This 48-month project will identify and address key policies that create systemic barriers for young women aging out of foster care in five provinces and territories. These barriers include gaps in child welfare permanency planning, education, employment, housing, health care and the justice system. The additional funding will support and will fill missing gaps in original consultation by connecting with other groups representing the Canadian diversity (Black, Indigenous and gender diverse) who are aging out/or have already aged of the child welfare system in Ontario and Manitoba and will allow Adoption Council of Canada to undertake a national symposium.
