Experiences of Street-Involved Youth in Winnipeg
WINNIPEG—Street youth have often been viewed as a problematic group in society. Many people see street kids as lazy and rebellious young people unwilling to take reponsibility for their situations.
On Wednesday, September 17, members of Winnipeg’s media are invited to take in the release of a study that sought to listen to and hear the voices of street-involved youth.
The study, Voices from the Margins: Experiences of Street-Involved Youth in Winnipeg, takes us through the sometimes controversial and hard-hitting stories of twelve young people and their personal struggles to survive and transcend the harsh realities of the street. Voices from the Margins findings won’t go down easily and its recommendations are sure to impact academic researchers, service providers, and policy makers.
Voices from the Margins News Conference
