SYNOPSIS

Join Pro Bono Students Canada and Access to Justice BC to learn about post-COVID child and youth legal needs, how they are currently being met by youth services across the province, and how they could be addressed through systems change that supports child and youth meaningful participation, particularly in family and child protection matters.

In this interactive session, the speakers will share preliminary themes coming out of research about youth legal needs and peer support, and share A2JBC’s plans to create a Youth Connectors prototype that draws upon the research findings, as well as the leadership and input of young people with lived experience.
