Ontario College Advanced Diploma CHILD AND YOUTH CARE (1205)
Program Overview
In the Child and Youth Care program, you develop the knowledge and skills needed to advocate for children, youth and their families. You learn how to encourage children, youth and their families to be more resourceful and to be able to confidently use their voice.
This three-year Child and Youth Care program examines the principles, philosophies and characteristics of relational child and youth care practice from a child and youth-centred, developmental and ecological perspective (1). It also covers themes related to professional boundaries, child and adolescent mental health, psychology, counselling theories, crisis theory, intervention and counselling (group, individual, family), abuse, advocacy and anti-oppression.
As a graduate of this advanced diploma program, you will be ready to provide prevention and early intervention strategies, assessment, treatment and counselling to children and adolescents who may be in crisis, struggling with psychological challenges or who are dealing with other stressful situations. As such, you will become a valuable member of the mental health profession and use your knowledge and skills to provide life-changing support from a strength-based paradigm. Child and Youth Care practitioners engage and work with children, youth and their families across a wide variety of settings, including community-based child and youth development programs, parent education and family support, school-based programs, community mental health, group homes, residential centres, day and residential treatment programs, early intervention, home-based care and treatment, private practice, psychiatric centres, rehabilitation programs, paediatric health care, child protection and youth justice programs (2).
