Manitoba Advocate

WELCOME

The Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth (MACY) is here to make sure the voices of young people are heard. We make sure their rights are respected and that they have a say in decisions that affect their lives. We advocate, investigate, and review public services in Manitoba to ensure they are meeting the needs of children, youth, and young adults.

OUR TEAM

The Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth (MACY) is an independent office of the Manitoba legislature. That means we are outside the government and are not a part of any government department. The Manitoba Advocate is empowered by legislation to support and advise children, youth, and young adults of their rights and the services which should be available to them.

Be honest with yourself and your emotions. Don’t force yourself to feel something different – it’s ok to not be ok and ask for help. –
If you need help, you can contact us.

The best gift you can give yourself this holiday season is self-care. That might mean putting yourself first and setting boundaries.

Self-empowerment is an active process of learning, forgiving, and stepping boldly into your own potential. You’ve got the power, embrace it and use it for you and others! –
