The course will identify a generic framework of Human Service knowledge which is required for a beginning competence in delivering service to clients. It will provide students with an introduction to various techniques and methods used in a helping relationship. The students will have the opportunity to demonstrate skills via role play and classroom activities. The Health and Wellness course challenges students to assess their personal lifestyles and that of clients. They will investigate the social conditions and lifestyle choices that contribute to or serve as a deterrent to good health.
Students develop management plans designed to improve the quality of life of themselves and clients.
This compulsory work-placement, which takes place during the Spring Intersession, is designed to provide supervised opportunities to develop direct practice skills which allow students to enter into Human Service settings.
