McCreary Centre Society is a non-government not-for-profit committed to improving the health of BC youth through research, evaluation and community-based projects. Our vision is that all youth are supported to be healthy and connected.
McCreary and the Youth Research Academy (YRA) have released the 2024 Youth Research Slam: Violence prevention and safety promotion report.
In fall 2024, 15 young people with an interest in promoting safety and reducing violence among BC youth came together as part of the City of Vancouver's Building Safer Communities Program. Over five days, the youth analyzed data from the 2023 BC Adolescent Health Survey, wrote up their findings, created dissemination materials, and presented key messages to adult stakeholders.
McCreary's Youth Research Academy (YRA) has released the Youth Transitioning Out of Care in BC: Fall 2024 report. This report shares updated findings from the YRA's longitudinal study of youth transitioning out of care in BC. This is the fourth annual report.
