This textbook is published as an Open Educational Resource (OER; see What are OERs? section) and has been adapted for Child and Youth Care Practitioner (CYCP) students to understand various theories, approaches, and how a knowledge of different areas of development can inform our practice with young people and their families. The content has been adapted and edited to connect within the context of a CYCP approach, which means there may be (unintentional) minor errors within the pages.
