Canadian Province Alberta Seeks Citizens Views On Its New Early Intervention Programme

Canadian Province Alberta Seeks Citizens Views On Its New Early Intervention Programme - eGov monitor

A review panel was established this past summer by Children and Youth Services Minister Janis Tarchuk to study the system and suggest ways it can be strengthened to support at-risk children, youth and families in the province. As part of this review, the panel has launched a website with a discussion guide where Albertans can offer their thoughts and ideas.

“Albertans’ feedback will give our panel a better understanding of how the system really works in all parts of the province. We are also eager to hear ideas about how the system can work better to address today’s issues in Alberta, as well as future challenges,” said Dr. Nico Trocmé, review panel co-chair, Philip Fisher Chair in Social Work at McGill University and Scientific Director of the Canadian Centre of Excellence in Child Welfare. “The panel is committed to hearing and carefully considering many different points of view as we develop a report and recommendations for the Minister of Children and Youth Services.”
