I want to hear from you.
If you are between 14 -24 and under a Youth Agreement or another care arrangement and you've experienced a recent disaster such as a wildfire or flood in BC, I would love to hear from you.
If you have lived experience in the child welfare system and were impacted by a disaster but have since aged out, or are unsure if you qualify to participate, I would love to hear from you, too.
Participate
Contact me if you would like to share your experience.
If you're qualified to participate, we will schedule an in person or on-camera interview that should take about an hour and a half. In line with the recomendation of the MCFD Project Sponsor, qualified participants will receive an honorarium at the end of the interview.
Your identity will be kept private and your responses will be anonymous/ not traceable to you. Consent documents are maintained as required by the University Ethical Review Board and MCFD Research Agreements.
