About the course

The Child and Youth Care program is a three-year advance diploma that teaches students about family issues and children’s emotional and behavioural challenges. This program teaches students about special education and assistive technology. Students will gain experience within three full time field placements to apply their skills. In the Child and Youth Care program, you'll learn from experienced instructors about family issues and children's emotional and behavioural challenges. You’ll develop counselling skills, examine child abuse and neglect, mental health issues, familial structures, psychotherapy techniques, develop professionalism and interpersonal skills relevant to the field, and many other child-centred issues and concerns.

　　This three-year advanced diploma has a field placement, where you'll spend every other semester working with clients/recipients of service. In total, you'll get over 1,500 hours of real-world experience. Fanshawe will give you the skills and experience necessary as a child and youth care worker to accept the challenge with confidence.
