Field Practice 3

Exposure to more complex child and youth care settings supports the development of advanced skills through the integration of theory and practice. This placement experience challenges students to apply foundational child and youth care skills in more complex settings. Students build upon their existing strengths and professional CYC characteristics while expanding upon personal, professional, and clinical skills. The emphasis is on the student's understanding of community systems, interprofessional practice and the application of trauma-informed interventions. Students refine relational practice skills and select and apply advanced skills in their placement setting with children, youth, and families.
