As soon as they’re old enough, kids who grew up in the child welfare system are cut off from government support. For many of them, that means no co-signers for a lease. No help with post-secondary applications. It means hustling to get by and potentially ending up on the streets.
All our systems intersect with child welfare: social work, mental health, school, healthcare, housing. If we're serious about supporting kids beyond their time in the system, we need to fix everything.
Naomi Nichols is a Canada research chair in community partnered social justice at Trent University. In this episode, we explore how “aging out” of child welfare is symptomatic of a wider moral failing.
