Child and youth care practitioners provide support and understanding to young people and their families. This six-consecutive-semester program teaches students to engage with children, youth and families in their everyday lives to promote optimal development and facilitate positive changes by using the principles of relational practice.

Designed to prepare students to provide frontline treatment services to young people with complex special needs, students will receive specific education and skill development. In-class learning is complemented by three competency-based field placements supervised by qualified clinicians.
