Youth Engagement: Supporting the Transition to Adulthood

Welcome to BerryDunn’s podcast series for social workers and child welfare practitioners. In this episode, Andrea Richardson (formerly of BerryDunn) is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Wynter, who has dedicated to reforming child welfare policies and practices and tirelessly advocating for change. They discuss youth-adult partnerships, particularly as foster teens begin transitioning to adulthood, and Dr. Wynter’s book, "Follow the Love: Permanent Connections Scaffolding". The book lays out a holistic path forward to integrate youth voice in decisions that impact their lives and to make sure they have permanent connections to support their transition to adulthood.
