Hi! I’m a child and youth worker, and I’m planning on relocating to the North Bay Area in the near future. I’m from Toronto, so I’m not sure which kind of agencies are in the North Bay Area that are hiring CYWs. I check indeed every day and it looks like there’s limited positions here :/
I’m wondering if anyone has some advice or knows of anywhere that hires CYWs? Thank you :)
Hello everyone! I live in the Greater Toronto area, just north of the city. I live in a more forested area. I’ve lived in this house for 20 years and I typically only see these guys around the summer, I’d say maybe 5 times a week or less than that. Outside of the summer, I see one every 3 months. When I posted on the what bug is this subreddit, I was told to ask here! I’ve been told it’s a cockroach, but it’s a kind that’s mainly harmless. This guy was about the size of a dime. They don’t typically scurry away fast. And they don’t crunch either when they’re squished / taken care of.
Apprenticeships (Update!)
Hi everyone! I had posted almost a month ago about how my boyfriend has been struggling to land his apprenticeship for his AME license. But yesterday he gave me the good news that he’s been hired! I’m so proud of him and I wanted to thank everyone for their help and DMs with advice. He’s going to be about 3-4 hours away from me now and that’s going to be pretty hard. So if anyone has any advice for me or us or just relationships in general during an apprenticeship, I’d really appreciate that LOL
Anyways! Thanks again :)

Hi everyone, my boyfriend is currently looking for his AME apprenticeship in Ontario. It’s hard seeing him getting so discouraged from not hearing back to all the places he’s applying to. I’ve helped him with his resume, we’ve tailored it a dozen times already, and he’s only gotten one call back. Is it always this difficult to find an apprenticeship? Does anyone have ANY advice? Thank you! :)

Im a CYW working in group homes and LITS and it’s been getting harder and harder in this field. Theres only so much we can do and I feel like more and more as the years go by, kids/youth leave treatment after making so much progress coping with their behavioural and mental health challenges, and it goes right back to square one.
Anyone who’s previously lived in a group home / LITS and turned your life around. Where are you now? Even if things didn’t go your way and you’re still facing challenges, I just want to hear your stories. Thank you.
Since our own sub for CYWS is dead I’ll ask here. Are there any CYW jobs that offer adequate work/life balance? And are true to their job descriptions? I’ve accepted and then declined jobs because they’re dishonest in their job postings (ex. Offering a company vehicle for client transportation but then requiring you to transport clients in your personal vehicle)
I’m thankfully part time in my role at a live in treatment centre, but I’ve done my fair share of being asked to stay late (3am is the latest). This is NOTHING compared to the full time staff here. I’ve seen them work 15-20 hour shifts due to being short staffed or not being caught up on their work. How does this get better? DOES it get better? My mental capacity is not at all ready to go full time in this field. I tried, and had to leave the field for a whole year before returning.
I hate working late nights on the weekends, I don’t know how I could ever start a family being a CYW, and I don’t know where to go from here. There’s always school / day treatments but they’re so competitive. I’m just not sure what to do, or if my short time in the field is coming to an end.
Anyone else in a similar boat or just need to vent? I’m curious to hear what others think, or if anyone has encouraging words
