"This book offers a perspective on residential care and treatment in Canada that integrates scholarly research, professional experience, and the voices of young people. As the author argues, there are many reasons to be concerned about residential care and treatment, including longstanding challenges with respect to the quality of care provided, the often traumatic experiences of young people while they live there, racism, safety, funding, and government oversight. Although Gharabaghi provides a sharp critique of residential care, he also presents a hopeful way forward, proposing a positive and constructive framework for residential care and treatment that is fundamentally based on a partnership between caregivers and young people, their families, and neighbourhoods and communities. In the end, this book is as much a critique of the current state of residential care as a celebration of what could be achieved if we adjusted the ways in which we think about what really matters in residential care and treatment."-- |
