About Feminist CYC

All things CYC with a feminist twist 🍋!


Welcome to The Feminist CYC!

We're dedicated to exploring themes and concepts unique to child & youth care, and providing a space for practitioners to meet, chat, and share ideas.

Am I a CYC?

Child & youth care practitioners often have formal education in the form of a diploma, undergraduate, or graduate degree in child & youth care. But having a background in a different field doesn't exclude you from engaging in practice that is fundamentally CYC!

A Unique Profession

CYC has a unique set of values, ethics, and practices that can be shared and utilized by folks with different backgrounds and job titles. So, how can you tell if you're practicing from a CYC lens? If your practice is strengths-based, in the lifespace & milieu based, and youth focused. If you provide counselling, interventions, and supports to young people. If you use daily life events and activities, value reflection in and on practice, and can get a teeny bit loose with boundaries...congrats!  You're using a CYC framework in your practice!

I belong here!  What can I expect?

You can expect a whole lot of awesome from the feminist CYC!  Check out the highlight reel:

💪 Strengths-based assessment & practice

🌱 Creative activity based interventions

🔮 Reflections on praxis

🧘 Self and community care

👯 Critical engagement

🎙️ The odd rant

💫 Resource ideas & recommendations

...and a lot more!

Is Child & Youth Care Feminist?

"Wouldn't feminist child & youth care just be child & youth care?" This was the response from a fellow practitioner and mentor when I broached the topic of applying a feminist lens to CYC. It's interesting, because while he seemed confused as to how feminist CYC would be any different from regular CYC, I had spent years attempting to synthesize child and youth care practice with feminist ways of knowing in a manner that felt fruitful for the young people and families I worked alongside. Is Child & Youth Care inherently feminist?   While to my friend the connection between CYC and feminism seemed to be an obvious one, I found it slightly more nuanced. Can we call a profession that is female-dominated and disparagingly low paying feminist? A profession that centres reflection and self-awareness as a means to increase productivity and outcomes, exploiting feminine ways of being to bolster the masculine values so ubiquitous in our society? A profession that c

Caring is for Everyone!

DISCLAIMER: Looking at child & youth care from a feminist lens is a complex and ever-evolving task.  What fits with feminism today might not fit with it tomorrow.  This is why it's important that we consider everything I propose here as a possible  way to integrate the two practices. The Foundation of Feminist CYC Feminist child & youth care has four core tenants: Caring is not an innate skill, nor is it exclusive to ciswomen The ubiquitous and unconscious reliance on gender roles in practice creates ineffective services delivery and negative lived experiences for young people, their families & communities, and practitioners Promotion of masculine traits via intervention perpetuates patriarchy CYCP have a responsibility to advocate for systemic change Wooooooo!  Okay, those feel like some big concepts--so let's break them down!  This week we will focus on the first tenant-recognizing that caring is for everyone! #1 Caring is for Everyone! Is caring a skill? My day-t

Understanding Child & Youth Care

Image
 This week, l et's back up a little and look at what a child &  youth care practitioner does! Scope of Practice Defining child and youth care is hardly a straight forward task.  The Ontario Association of Child and Youth Care (OACYC) in their scope of practice explain that, "C hild and Youth Care practice is grounded in the basis of a trauma-informe d, relational, anti-oppressive, participatory and strength-based approach. Child and Youth Care practice includes  assessing individual and program needs, designing and implementing programs and planned environments. With young people, Child and Youth Care Practitioners integrate developmental, preventive and therapeutic processes into the lifespace, where possible" So, essentially, practitioners collaborate with young people and their families to support their development and foster their strengths. But how and where they do that is as varied as it is unique, and that  is where definitions get tricky! Soo...what does th
