Bachelor of Child and Youth Care

Program Overview

Many children, youth, and their families experience trauma, often through abuse, neglect, or a significant loss. They may also have stressors such as mental health, education, poverty, communication, or family conflict. Child and youth care practitioners work relationally with individuals and families to help them gain new insights, supports, and strategies to navigate the complexities of their lives and an ever-changing world.

The child and youth care program provides students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to work effectively with children, youth, and families in a wide range of practice settings. Specialized child and youth care courses and courses in related disciplines prepare students to become well-rounded child and youth care professionals.

In years one and two, foundational courses prepare students to form helping relationships with youth and families in entry-level positions. Years three and four prepare students for advanced practice with children, youth, and families with multiple, complex challenges. Practicum courses in years one, two, and four provide the opportunity to integrate coursework within direct practice settings.
