This report urges the provincial government to modernize the Mental Health Act and ensure that it addresses the unique needs and circumstances of children and youth living with mental health challenges.
The 2024–25 year was one of the most active and demanding in the history of the Office of the Representative for Children and Youth. Across advocacy, investigations, monitoring, engagement and reporting, RCY supported thousands of children, youth and young adults while also tracking serious harms and systemic failures across the child-serving system. This Annual Report and Service Plan shows both the scale of that work and what it revealed about how well – and how poorly – systems are responding to young people in British Columbia.
RCY is actively working to create a more inclusive and accessible future.
RCY’s Accessibility Plan has been drafted to act as a guide in catalyzing shifts in organizational culture, to enable full and effective participation for all staff and clients, and ensure inclusion and belonging so that we can do our best work for children, youth, young adults, and families. RCY intends to remove barriers and create an equitable environment for all who interact with the organization, including all young people, cultural groups and communities, service providers, partners, parents and caregivers, and RCY staff.
