When young people and their families face trauma, abuse, neglect, or major loss, they require assistance to build a brighter tomorrow. The Child and Youth Care program equips you with the expertise to guide individuals and families through mental health struggles, addiction issues, educational hurdles, financial difficulties, communication barriers, or family disputes. You'll develop skills to form meaningful connections, enabling those you work with to gain fresh perspectives, find resources, and acquire tools for managing life's challenges.
Though your four-year program emphasizes specialized training in child and youth care, mandatory and optional courses in fields like humanities and social sciences expand your comprehension of human behavior and provide diverse viewpoints across disciplines.
