Opening Doors to Education for Children and Youth in Care
This Guide, Compiled by Caring Families Society, will help caregivers recognize, understand, and address the unique challenges faced by children and youth in and from care as they move through the education system. Much of the material here will apply equally to children and youth being cared for under Kinship Agreements.
The document can also be obtained from one of our coordinators, or via Canada Post by contacting the Regional Office at 1-888-922-8437 or admin@fpsss.com.
