Peer Support and Mentorship in the Context of Child Welfare and Foster Care
Peer support and mentorship within the Canadian child welfare and foster care system refer to structured programs where youth in care or foster care receive guidance, emotional support, and practical advice from individuals who share similar life experiences. These initiatives aim to address the unique challenges faced by children and youth in care, such as trauma, instability, and limited access to resources.
