Children and Youth in Care Day 2021 – Let’s celebrate together on May 14!
On May 14, NEOFACS and Children’s Aid Societies across the province will celebrate Children and Youth in Care Day!
This important day, proclaimed into law as the Children and Youth in Care Day Act, 2012, is an opportunity to recognize the enormous contributions that current and former youth in care make to this Province, as well as the strength, bravery and resilience shown by these children and youth in the face of adversity.
This year, OACAS is thrilled to use Children and Youth in Care Day to launch their new mental health initiative — Take5.
An interactive online space, Take5 is focused on reducing mental health risk and isolation for children and youth in care during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
Take5 (or more) minutes with us on May 14 to support the mental health and well-being of those in care.
