Strengths-Based SSW Practice Skills

Students in this course will be introduced to resiliency research and evidence based helping models that will further develop their knowledge and ability to intervene from a person-centred approach with marginalized people.  Students will learn to adopt a philosophical and value stance within an anti-oppressive and empowerment framework.   Students will develop and apply strengths-based engagement, assessment, and intervention skills relevant to the helping field.  This course will provide opportunities to integrate theory and application of concepts and skills through experiential exercises and role-plays.
