Overview

Advanced Diploma - Child and Youth Care

In the Child and Youth Care program at Centennial College, you'll develop the knowledge and skills to advocate for children, youth and their families as you learn to encourage them to be more resourceful and to use their voices confidently.

This three-year Child and Youth Care program will examine the principles, philosophies and characteristics of relational child and youth care practice from child and youth-centred, developmental and ecological perspectives.

As a graduate of this advanced diploma program, you'll 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 dealing with other stressful situations. 

As such, you'll 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.
