RCY is incredibly grateful to have participated in Our Children Our Way’s National Forum for Indigenous Child and Family Well-Being.

We learned so much through the inspiring approaches and practices to strengthening the lives of young people and their families.

Graphic with a black background featuring a large gold quotation mark symbol at the top. White and gold text reads: “The system we have now was designed 50 years ago and it is incapable of addressing the complexities that young people and their families are experiencing today… it is time to think differently, act different, and feel differently in our work with young people.” – Dr. Jennifer Charlesworth, Representative for Children and Youth. At the bottom right is the RCY logo with the words “Representative for Children and Youth.”

The systems of yesterday can’t meet the realities of today.

It’s time to stop patching cracks and start redesigning supports with care, equity, and belonging at the centre.

Every young person deserves to thrive.

When we invest in children and youth today, we build healthier, safer, and more connected communities for tomorrow.
