The Saskatchewan Advocate for Children and Youth’s 2023 annual report paints a concerning picture of the challenges confronting the province’s youth. The report emphasizes the prevalence of suicide attempts, mental health and addiction struggles, lack of access to services, and systemic factors contributing to adverse outcomes. Indigenous youth, in particular, face disproportionate challenges, with 81% of children in care being Indigenous and a 30-fold higher rate of incarceration compared to non-Indigenous youth.
