An Equity Guide for Change
|
The Myth of Child Protection captures the harsh ironic reality of the harm that arises when well-intentioned systems are broken. This book serves as a guide for persons who want to create change for the better in the system.
It is an apology to all those children and youth whom the system has failed. At the same time, it is a pledge to do better by those still present and others yet to come. In those instances where intervention did more good than harm, it is a recognition of this good.
This journal of collective writing is geared towards jointly generating new knowledge that is fueled by the past, seeks to inform the present and shape the future. Included in this book are the critical voices of advocacy and allyship united in change.

The Myth of Child Protection
An Equity Guide for Change
This book is a unique collection of essays, guides and best practices that would normally stay in quiet quarters as documents circulating within agencies.
Instead, it recognizes the good work already being done and the need to use these bodies of work as best practice because they come from within the organizations and in that sense the true experts.
With contributions of Aneesa Atta, Amanda Baker-Colacicco, Caitlyn Collins, Uzma Danish, Gifty Dem, Stacey Fong, Raphael Francis, Faith Harding, Cheryl Jeffrey, Josh Lamers, Leah Mallinos, Tabitha Mercer, Dave Musgrave, César Ndéma-Moussa, Jodi Potts, Gabrielle Provencher, Jaihun Sahak, Rona Jualla van Oudenhoven, Dawn Walcott-Parris and Steve Woodman.

Navigating Childish Times.
What roles for children and young people in a fragmented and polarized world?
Why is it that ‘good’ and ‘just’ people, or those who think they are, often vehemently disagree with each other, even to points of hating, vilifying or waging war on one another? Would not a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of human behaviour dynamics lead to the creation of conditions and situations that could build bridges between the opposing parties or otherwise resolve their differences in an amicable and fruitful manner?

Paying it Forward
How it works or perhaps should work
This text draws on a wide range of perspectives taken from an abundant supply of research and practice; and includes the observations of a few engaged teenagers. The latter are among the most hopeful we have encountered.
