Youth in Care Spotlight: Kasiah

Kasiah is a youth in care with many strengths. She also has many siblings, loves make-up, photography, exercise, and family activities like road trips and nacho nights. Kasiah is a youth learning to advocate for herself and is looking forward to a bright future. 

During the month of May we celebrate Children and Youth in Care Day (all month). The goals of Children and Youth in Care Day are to:

  • acknowledge the strengths of children and youth in and from care, 
  • increasing community participation, so that children and youth in and from care feel supported and thrive and, 
  • destigmatize views about children and youth in and from care by increasing public awareness and understanding.
