About the CYRRC

The Child and Youth Refugee Research Coalition (CYRRC) was a nationwide alliance of academics, community partners and government agencies working to promote the successful integration of refugee children, youth and their families. From 2017-2024, our members conducted rigorous research, promoted best practices and engaged in knowledge mobilization to further the social integration, education, mental and physical wellbeing of refugee children and youth in Canada. All of our research and knowledge mobilization products are collected on this website.
