This program of research will provide a unique opportunity to influence decision鈥恗aking in child protection services and to support front鈥恖ine work, which holds significant promise to impact children and youth who, without appropriate services, are likely to continue falling behind their peers and growing up in the margins. This chair represents a unique opportunity to create a greater link between CRCF/School of Social Work and Pediatrics, and to develop a long-term and far-reaching program of research that involves partners from different lines of services for vulnerable children and youth.
