Welcome to my blog!

My name is Marleigh and I have been a Child and Youth Care Practitioner for over 10 years. I have worked in diverse settings: youth justice, education, community (non-profit), mental health, First Nations, Inuit, Metis, and now Wraparound.

My hope is that this blog will stir up questions and ideas within our growing field. We need to start reflecting on our own environment and how our interactions with our children and youth are impacting their future relationships.

If you have any questions, comments, or would like to suggest a new topic please feel free to email me at: marpirnasar@gmail.com

Thank you for reading 🙂

Marleigh, CYC-P
