Help Keep CYC-Net Free and Accessible to All!
The core foundation pillar on which CYC-Net was founded nearly 30 years ago is that it will be free and open access to all. Forever.
In 2025, CYC-Net has received nearly 3 000 unique daily visitors, and our monthly journal CYC-Online is downloaded an average of 1 512 times each month. But to keep CYC-Net running as open access, independent, and available to all, we depend on the support of people like you.
A small donation — even the cost of a cup of coffee — can make a big difference in sustaining and improving what we offer.
Here's how you can help ...

A Child and Youth Care Approach to Working with Families
Second Edition
Jenny McGrath, Kelly Shaw and Thom Garfat are in the
process of creating a new edition of A Child and Youth Care Approach to
Working with Families, first published in 2015 by The CYC-Net Press and
edited by Leon Fulcher and Thom Garfat.
We are interested in
including new areas and new authors and are seeking chapters that are up to
4000 words (excluding references) combining Child and Youth Care practice
with the theories that inform it and are available to support hesitant and /
or first-time writers.
The intended audiences for this book are
pre-service Child and Youth Care students at diploma and degree level,
practitioners new to working in a family context, and programs building
their capacity to work with families.
Areas of interest for
additional chapters include:
Assessment – authority, method
Carers – identity, transitions, child-led, kinship
Context – setting, meaning
Diversity –
worldviews, family composition, approach
Ethics –
boundaries, reflection
Family voice – advocacy, consent
Relational practice – experiential, group
Safety –
environment, entry
Self-awareness – experience,
space-between
Service type – mandatory, power dynamics
If you are interested in contributing to the second edition of this
book, please complete
this short form by May 15, 2025. Thank you.
