Delphine Collin-Vézina - Responding to Child Protection-Involved Families During the COVID-19 Pandemic"
Delphine Collin-Vézina, Associate Professor in the Â鶹AV School of Social Work and the Director of the Â鶹AV Centre for Research on Children and Families (CRCF), received COVID-19 research funding.
Her research project aims to document the challenges faced by frontline service-seeking and child protection-involved families during the COVID-19 pandemic. UNICEF has identified several potential negative consequences of the pandemic for children and adolescents due to the loss of school, community, and social aid resources, and the imperative to offer services to support vulnerable families and to provide targeted and effective services to meet their needs. This initiative is funded by the Â鶹AV’s SSHRC Institutional Grant with support from the MI4 Emergency COVID-19 Research Funding and the Quebec Minister of Health and Social Services and will take place from May 2020 to April 2021.
