Terms: group home, youth / child group home, Canada / B.C. Group home, Halfway home, Children Care Services, Foster care
I'm having a bit of a time trying to find some specific information on how Group Homes for youth in Canada are run. I tried checking out the U.S. where I think the equivalent
So my questions:
Is there anywhere I'm overlooking for details in set up and operation of a home?
Anyone with personal experience in the system? (If you don't feel comfortable divulging in the comments, I can give you my email)
Is there a list of group homes of B.C. somewhere?
Is there an age restriction on youth in a group home?
Can youth who have been in a home come back and work for it?
Would a child care worker be allowed to help run a group home? How about a therapist/councillor?
Can sponsors be singular people, or do they have to be organizations?
Are these organizations usually religious institutions?
Thanks in advance for whatever help I can get!
