“…These hallmarks are present in CYC work regardless of context. To my mind, two paramount themes exist in the literature (Anglin, 1999;Beker, 1999;Beker & Baizerman, 1999;Desjardins & Freeman, 1991;Garfat, 2000;Krueger, 2000;Maier, 1991;Vander Ven, 1991). The first theme involves the CYC practitioner focus on the development of a therapeutic relationship and the endeavour to use that relationship to promote positive change in children and youth.…”

“…CYC is a distinctive profession committed to meeting the needs of children, youth and their families (Anglin, 1999;Beker, 1999;Beker & Baizerman, 1999;Desjardins & Freeman, 1991;Garfat, 2000;Krueger, 2000;Maier, 1991;VanderVen, 1991).

The field of child protection has a longstanding familiarity with the field of Social Work. However, in British Columbia's Ministry for Children and Family Development the ranks of Child Protection Workers are swelling with professionals who have been educated in Child and Youth Care. Using the author's personal experience, this article outlines the differences between Social Work and Child and Youth Care perspectives and further explores two of the many roles MCFD workers can assume within the MCFD. The article then offers insight to which role is accommodating of CYC hallmarks and which is not. The discussion then concludes with an examination of how CYC workers in the MCFD can advocate for the CYC perspective and profession within a Social Work dominated environment.KEY WORDS: child welfare; child and youth care practice; MCFD; professional context; CYC orientation.Correspondence should be directed to Robert M.

“…Maier (1999) elaborates on the importance of a relationship in working with children and youth, Most fundamentally in this formulation, effective care practice serves to enhance the development of children and youth, who are apt to acquire their values and life skills from those persons with whom they have close contact and satisfying experience. In other words, the workers who are significant to them for their personal attraction and power position in their daily lives represent carrier roles for new life's skills and values (Maier, 1999, p. 402).…”

Child and youth care practitioners are in the practice of facilitating and supporting change in individuals, families and communities. Therefore, as change agents it is important to uncover and understand the perspectives that direct one's practice. Personal and professional experiences, as well as a multitude of theoretical orientations, merge to create a child and youth care practitioner's ''tool box''. This article offers a brief foray into various change theories and provides examples of how these change theories direct and inform practice with youth and families at the Maples Adolescent Centre in British Columbia, Canada. This article suggests that systemic interventions are necessary to support enduring change in individuals and provides examples of how this is actualized with families and communities at the Maples Adolescent Centre. It concludes by advocating for the use of multiple theoretical orientations to direct child and youth care practitioners' work as change agents.

“…and "What happens next?" Personal and cultural safety, managing group membership(s), and reinforcing identity are all interwoven into the Soul, Rhythms and Blues of caring, reinforcing the importance of responsiveness to this aspect of practice (Maier, 1991). A third strain of the Blues is heard whenever a child or young person feels shy, embarrassed, ridiculed, or unsafe whether living at home, in a foster home, attending school camp, or staying at a residential school, group home, or institution.…”

“…Rhythms associated with peer groups and communities of interest reach deep into the soul of children and young people, wherever they live (Maier, 1990(Maier, , 1992. Responsive practices need fundamentally to build from recognition of how these rhythms impact on children and young people and how proactive engagement in community and peer group rhythms can benefit children, young people, and their families (Maier, 1991).…”

The knowledge base that underpins child and youth care work is re-examined through the device of musical metaphor, introducing six voices that impact on responsive practices with children, young people, and their families. The Soul of child and youth care is located in guarantees of physical safety and security and attending to bodily comforts, routines, and preferences. Rhythms of proactive caring build through the
