Lab hours per week
Course AvailabilityOpen
Description

Worker client relationships based on empathy and respect are essential to helping children and youth explore, clarify and express their thoughts and feelings which require the Child & Youth Care worker to be a skilled communicator. This course will introduce the student to the fundamental elements of counselling and the development of intra/interpersonal communication skills. Emphasis will be placed on the theory and practical skills necessary to therapeutically respond to children and youth people in a supportive, constructive and culturally sensitive manner. The student’s development of active listening skills will be an integral part of this course and therefore experiential in-class activities will be common.
