This article is based on a plenary held during the Child & Youth Care in Action VI Conference: Moving Through Trails and Trials Toward Community Wellness, held in Victoria, British Columbia in April 2019. It explores how we can re-imagine child and youth care practice with African Canadian youth. This emerging paradigm aligns with child and youth care politicized praxis as well as trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches in the field’s literature. We highlight the importance of mobilizing critical and transformative theoretical frameworks along with an Africentric worldview to substantially support youth of African descent with a strengths-based approach. Moreover, the protective role of Black-affirming spaces is developed and articulated. Keywords: child and youth care (CYC), youth work, Black-affirming space, African Canadian, youth

Relational Care

This article is a case study of relational care for youth in Canada. It examines some of the factors that contribute to and influence approaches to practice and levels of care for youth. This inquiry also provides an enriched understanding of some of the issues youth in care may face and highlights some of the nuanced intervention needs of youth that those working with youth should know. Through practical examples taken from observations of interactions and relationships between youth and practitioners in a residential setting, practice approaches and ensuing levels of care are assessed against the characteristics and objectives of relational care. This article adds to the literature on child and youth care practice with youth, relational practice in the field and research on child and youth care work within the residential milieu. It may also contribute to the literature on the criminalization of youth as well as rehabilitation and reform needs of at risk youth and be of use to educators, child and youth care practitioners, social workers, and the training institutions of these professionals.
