Abstract: A high-intensity family finding model has been used in other jurisdictions to support youth in government care (child welfare services) and those transitioning out of government care to develop long-term family or family-type support networks. Youth researchers with government care experience were commissioned to conduct a feasibility study into the model’s applicability for use in Western Canada, and to identify other models providing mentorship and natural support which could also be considered.
