With input from young adults aged 18 to 24 who were in or from care, the TRRUST initiative at the McCreary Centre Society created Journey Maps to better understand their experiences.
These visual tools offer insights into the unique challenges youth face, such as adjusting to new environments, coping with trauma, and striving for independence. By understanding their journey, we can provide meaningful support, foster stability, and build trusting relationships.
Anyone involved in caring for or supporting youth, including those aiming to provide permanency, can gain valuable insights by exploring these maps. They help to better understand the needs and challenges youth face. Take a moment to review the 2023 map and reflect on how you can make a positive impact. Where do you see yourself on this journey?
What is TRRUST?
TRRUST (Transition in Resources, Relationships, and Understanding Support Together) is a group of over 60 organizations working together to support youth transitioning out of government care in British Columbia. The initiative focuses on improving key areas like education, employment, housing, and health, helping young people build better futures and overcome challenges as they move toward independence.
