McCreary is excited to share updates on the projects we have been working on, as well as from our youth groups.

In 2022, McCreary Centre Society prepared a report for the Youth and Indigenous Justice Division at the Department of Justice Canada. The report details the results of a project to better understand the needs and challenges facing emerging adults (aged18-25) within the criminal justice system.

Following the release of the provincial report of the 2023 BC Adolescent Health Survey results (available here), we have now begun releasing the 16 regional reports.

McCreary Centre Society have launched Searching for a place: The health and well-being of homeless and unstably housed youth in BC. The report briefly shares results from the 2023 BC Adolescent Health Survey, showing the prevalence of homelessness for youth aged 12-19, before moving on to consider the health of youth aged 12-27 with experience of homelessness and housing instability who completed the 2023 Homeless Youth Health and Wellness Survey..

Since 2019, the Youth Research Academy (YRA) have been surveying youth transitioning out of government care in BC. The survey asks questions about youth’s background, health, experiences in care, living situations, education, employment, money, goals, access to services and supports, and strengths and needs.
