Post-18 Intervention Support Caseloads by Indigenous Status Over Ten Years

A dataset from Children and Family Services tracks the average monthly number of young adults aged 18-24 receiving post-intervention support through Transition to Adulthood Program Agreements, segmented by Indigenous status. It provides historical caseload data spanning ten years, covering the period of transition from Support and Financial Assistance Agreements to TAP starting in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. The data is published by the Government of Alberta in aggregate formats.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in the average monthly caseload for Indigenous versus Non-Indigenous youth over the ten-year historical period.
• Assess the impact of the Transition to Adulthood Program implementation in 2022-2023 on post-18 intervention support volumes.
• Model correlations between fiscal year and caseload composition during the policy shift from SFAA to TAP agreements.
• Compare support program engagement across the Indigenous status demographic dimension for youth transitioning to adulthood.

Strengths

• Provides a ten-year historical view of program caseloads, enabling longitudinal analysis.
• Captures a defined policy transition from SFAA to TAP agreements starting in fiscal year 2022-2023.
• Data is disaggregated by the key demographic dimension of Indigenous status.
• Published by the authoritative Government of Alberta with multiple access formats including CSV and XLSX.

Limitations

• Data is aggregated; individual case records or detailed support types are not available.
• The dataset combines two different agreement types (TAP and SFAA) across fiscal years, which may complicate direct time-series comparisons.
• Sample size and row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical granularity.
