Description:

The real you is rooted in your community. And we’re inspired by it. The Social Services Worker – Indigenous Specialization program helps students gain the knowledge and tools they need to guide, support, and empower individuals, families and entire communities.

Dedicated to student success, this program opens doors for the graduate to provide effective social service worker intervention from a holistic Indigenous lens. The program prepares graduates with the tools necessary to support and address social, cultural and political issues to foster balance in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects for individuals, families and communities. With the combination of theory, hands on learning and fieldwork placement you will be prepared to work with Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations to overcome barriers.

Upon completion of your program, you’ll be eligible to register with the College of Social Work and Social Service Workers.
