Developed in collaboration with housing, mental health, addiction, and other welfare agencies, this course has been designed to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to support and protect vulnerable individuals, families, and communities.
By combining practical experience with academic study, students will enhance their ability to comprehend and assist those facing crises. Through simulated counseling sessions, they will refine their communication and therapeutic abilities, while also delving into topics such as child development, substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental health.
The curriculum will cover various policies and frameworks related to community development, criminal justice, health services, social work, and education, emphasizing the fundamental principles of social and community work.
Upon completion of the program, students will have the option to transition to the BA (Hons) Youth Work & Community Development (JNC) or BA (Hons) Working with Children, Young People & Families course, allowing them to progress without the need to retake modules.
