At the CYPT, we believe that a strong sense of belonging is foundational to child and youth well-being.
The work of this collaborative is focused predominately in the area of Belonging for Children and Youth, which for us, includes three key areas of focus: Equity, Attachment/ Relationships and Children and Youth Feeling Valued, Heard and Included. But what is belonging?
This is a comprehensive document that will continue to evolve as our collective understanding of belonging evolves.
