Youth Protection in Quebec: A Call to Action

¡Hola, mi gente! The state of youth protection in Quebec has reached a breaking point, and it’s imperative that we take a stand for our children and families. Social Services Minister Carmant recently made it clear: we must prioritize family support over separation. This is not just a policy issue; it’s a moral imperative that affects the core of our community.

For too long, families have faced unwarranted disruptions during their most vulnerable moments. The current system often seems more geared toward tearing families apart than helping them stay together. We need to turn this narrative around, and it starts with us—community leaders, advocates, and concerned citizens coming together to demand better outcomes for our youth.

The time to act is now. Minister Carmant emphasizes the need to “put the points sobre las íes,” which translates perfectly into our shared mission: to clarify our goals and take decisive action toward family preservation and support. Every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment, and every family should have access to the resources necessary to thrive.

As we engage in this discussion, it’s crucial to recognize that change doesn’t come from the top down alone. It requires grassroots support and involvement from every corner of our community. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, or simply a concerned neighbor, your voice matters. Join the movement advocating for reform in youth protection policies—your participation can make a significant difference.

We must band together and galvanize our efforts to push for urgent change. Advocating for family-centered approaches means investing in services that empower families, rather than penalizing them. It means calling for more funding for mental health resources and family counseling, ensuring that support systems are in place to address the challenges families face before they escalate to crisis points.

If we strive for a future where our communities flourish, we must ensure that our youth are prioritized. Let’s advocate for policies that enable families to stay together, receive the support they need, and ultimately thrive. This is about building a foundation of hope and resilience in our communities for generations to come.
