Child & Youth Care

George Brown College’s Child and Youth Care (C133) program combines best practice principles and a relational approach that is anchored in the values of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Ontario Association of Child and Youth Care Code of Ethics. Students learn to engage purposefully and effectively with children, adolescents, and families who struggle with emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges to relate to others. Specific focus is on recognizing the impact of mental health challenges on children and youth. Students learn to translate theory into practice to move youth from potential risk to resilience.
