EDIB

Students explore social issues facing children and youth from diverse families, with a focus on intersecting social identities, systemic oppression, and experiences of discrimination. Throughout the course students examine intergenerational trauma and historical injustices experienced by Indigenous peoples, as well as the ongoing impacts of colonialism. Students critically engage with trauma-informed approaches to child and youth care practice that center the needs of 2SLGBTQAI+ communities, racialized individuals, and those with disabilities. Emphasis is placed on fostering inclusive, anti-oppressive, and culturally responsive support strategies that affirm diverse identities and lived experiences

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
