CYCP-2034Relational Child and Youth Care Practice
Child and Youth Care is about caring and acting – about being present, thinking on your feet, interacting and growing with children and youth (Kruger, 2000). The intention of this course is to provide students with theory and techniques practiced in class concurrently to their practicum placement. Students will develop a strength based, ecological, anti-oppressive and relational approach to working alongside of young people. We will focus on the specific child and youth care processes involved in establishing trust and caring relationships with young people.
