This educational panel focused on how to improve the current youth care system. For now, once an individual hits the age of 18, they are no longer considered a minor, and consequently, they are being left on their own. This is the main cause of youth homelessness. Panelists discussed how youth can grow out of the system instead of being 'thrown' out of the system.
Professionals in the field discussed the current system and resources available to youth, ideas they believe may improve the current resource network, and ways any individual could help out with this issue. Ideas of supporting the cause will touch on fighting stigma to helping associations and individuals directly.
