| This program prepares students to work with people who are experiencing stressful events in their lives from an individual, family, and community perspective. Students will learn skills needed to assist individual clients, groups, families, and communities to better meet their challenges and to enhance their social functioning. There is a focus on promoting equality to address disadvantages that people face on the basis of race, disability, gender, or age. Clinical practice labs and field placements provide a milieu where students are able to apply theory into practice through interviewing, case assessment, and planning.
Social service workers are commonly employed by government agencies (e.g. Ministry of Community and Social Services), and social service agencies (e.g. child and family services, mental health associations, municipal social assistance offices). Upon graduation, you are eligible to register with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
