Details

The project goal is to learn more about ways in which post-secondary institutions can support students who have been involved with child and family services. There is significant evidence that that young people who have been involved with child and family services are the least likely group to attend and/or complete post secondary.

Deliverables

The initial goal is to create a literature review and/or environmental scan of existing programs in other post-secondary institutions.

Mentorship

I will provide direction and direct supervision.

Education

Transformative, collaborative and supportive education: it’s at the heart of what we do. The same qualities are at the heart of what social workers do when they work with families, provide support and transform lives in the communities where they live and work. Students are prepared with the competencies and practice skills to assess and practice in a professional social work setting. Faculty members have a wide range of expertise in social work education, strong connections with the community, and active engagement in research and scholarly activities to advance social work education.
