Family life education is a multidisciplinary field that attempts to improve the quality of life for individuals and families across the life cycle. This is accomplished using a preventative approach in a small group context. The aim of the certificate in family life education is to increase knowledge and skills relevant for persons who wish to conduct family life education programs in: social and community service agencies, hospitals, schools and after-school programs, employee assistance programs or wellness programs in business organizations, multidisciplinary teams in learning centres and religious institutions.
The program is also designed for those who, although qualified in their own professions, wish to obtain additional training and practice in: 1) group leadership and small group dynamics; 2) interpersonal relations and communications; 3) designing, facilitating and evaluating programs and workshops; and, 4) prevention work with individuals and families.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
