Overview

Advanced Diploma - Child and Youth Care

All of Sheridan's professors have been active in the field for the past five years. 

Their curriculum is cutting edge and provides a strong theoretical and practical foundation for your future career. 

You'll learn to develop and implement a range of prevention, intervention and treatment strategies based on a foundational understanding of human development, family systems and cultural diversity.

The Child and Youth Care program promotes a strength-based approach to practice that focuses on encouraging a child’s strengths in overcoming their struggles. 

The curriculum focuses on the current resources and situations faced by youth and child care workers in Canada.

You'll learn through:

  • Hands-on experiential activities.
  • Collaborative group assignments that develop problem-solving skills.
  • Presentations by guest speakers and agencies.
  • Role-playing activities.
  • Class discussions and case studies.

You'll complete four semesters of field practicum in two locations that may include youth justice, foster homes, shelters, residential treatment facilities and community outreach programs.
