We’re proud to share the newly updated edition of Rights & Responsibilities: A Handbook for Youth in Care & Youth Connected to Child & Family Programs!

 

This project has been an ongoing effort over the past several years, with major updates taking place over the last year and a half with support from and in partnership with the Ministry of Social Services. The goal was to refresh and expand this important resource, guided by youth, for youth, to ensure the content is meaningful, relevant, and truly useful for young people navigating life in care for young people in Saskatchewan.

 

Our deepest thanks go first to the countless youth and alumni of care who guided this process every step of the way — from shaping the language and content to choosing the fonts, artwork, and overall design. Your voices, experiences, and creativity are what make this handbook meaningful and relevant.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Social Services for their continued partnership and support in bringing this update to life.

 

This updated handbook truly represents what SYICCN stands for: amplifying youth voices, promoting awareness, and creating tools that empower young people to understand and use their rights.
