Gain skills to support children and adolescents facing social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties linked to mental health concerns, cognitive differences, neurodevelopmental conditions, economic disadvantages, traumatic experiences, or legal system involvement. As Child and Youth Care professionals, you'll collaborate with vulnerable young individuals and their families across diverse environments, helping them overcome obstacles while fostering their inherent strengths to promote meaningful transformation. The program examines, applies, and integrates multiple research-backed therapeutic approaches grounded in concepts of risk and resilience, ecological systems theory, relationship-based practice, developmental psychology, family dynamics, equity principles, and special needs education.
