This episode is a special edit of the Centre for the Study of Services to Children and Families’ annual Transforming Child Welfare Panel event which was held on February 27, 2026. This year, the panel presentation focused on queering child welfare and child well-being, and featured researchers and graduate students whose research examines the experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ children and youth.
The topics ranged from foster caregivers supporting 2STNBGD youth in care, the experiences of former 2SLGBTQ+ youth in care, queering children’s rights, to challenging assumptions of the child welfare system, and healthcare social work practice with younger trans and gender diverse people. Joined by Kayla Kenney, Kristi Pinderi, Marko Aguilar Maurer, Emma McIllroy, and Kyle Turone, the panelists share their findings from their research and discuss the ways in which the child welfare system has evolved, and the ways that the system can continue to still evolve to better support 2SLGBTQ+ children and youth.
