New videos by the Centre for Resilience & Social Development
Did you know that young people have special rights protecting them at school and in the criminal justice system? The Centre for Resilience & Social Development (CRSD) has released a series of expert interviews to explain those rights, with support from Crime Prevention Ottawa.
These videos will be useful for families, educators, community workers and other professionals working with young people. The series has a particular focus on supporting racialized, refugee and newcomer families.
