Description: | Not all children and youth receive the same opportunities and resources to succeed in life. In a world where inequities still exist, Humber's Child and Youth Care advanced diploma program prepares you to promote the optimal development and care of children, youth and their families through a holistic lens. Students develop skills in assessing needs, advocacy, designing and implementing programs, and creating therapeutic environments. Students will also learn how to use daily life events and planned interventions to support and facilitate positive change and growth. In addition to three field experiences, the program provides foundational knowledge in infant, child and adolescent development; child and youth care relational practice principles; family dynamics; evidence-based or evidence-informed intervention strategies; group dynamics; mental health and wellness; interviewing and counselling; cultural humility; and therapeutic activities. |
