Researchers at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax are looking further into the impact of COVID-19 on families.
A
second survey from the Early Childhood Collaborative Research Centre was released recently.
Dr. Jessie-Lee McIsaac said in the first survey, many parents spoke about their struggles with guilt.
“Parents feeling guilty about working and not spending time with their family but also feeling guilty when they are spending time with their family and not meeting employment demands. This kind of sense of guilt was something we heard a lot about,” McIsaac said.
HALIFAX For every 1,000 youths in Canadian foster care, only eight go on to graduate with a post-secondary education. But a new program aims to dramatically change those results. New Brunswick Community College is the latest post-secondary institution to join a growing list of schools participating in a bursary program to ease the financial burden of youth leaving the foster care system. Research shows young people leaving the foster care system struggle to achieve positive life outcomes compared to their peers. NBCC will offer 10 students free tuition, as part of a nation wide initiative by the Child Welfare Political Action Committee.
