A new report has been released entitled Integrated Youth Services in Canada: A Portrait. The report covers a range of topics related to IYS, including a pan-Canadian overview, history, achievements, evidence, and future opportunities.
The GBF-Bell Partnership, which supports IYS across the country, commissioned the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) to research and write the report. Read the report here and the two-page summary here.
