And It Changed Me Somehow

Relational Child and Youth Care Encounters

Grant Charles and Thom Garfat, editors

You are invited to submit an article for consideration for publication by CYC-Net Press in a new title, And It Changed Me Somehow: Relational Child and Youth Care Encounters.
 
Our relationships with our clients, colleagues, mentors and managers can be powerful and, on occasion, life changing. The interactions we have with the people in our professional lives can be positive or negative. An encounter that ‘changed you somehow’.  An encounter that made you reconsider how you work, or how you are with young people, or how you engage with your teammates or, of course, how you think about yourself in this work.

We would like to hear about transformative moments you have had with people in your work life that have had a significant impact on you professionally and/or personally.

We are looking for 500-1000 words, first person stories. No references, just plain language.

It would be submitted by the end of October 2026.
 
If you are interested or have any questions please contact the editors here.
