Child and Youth Care Interviewing and Counselling is a practical text designed to help students learn essential interviewing and counselling skills through a practical action-oriented approach and scenarios situated in common professional CYC settings such as group homes, treatment centres, or outreach services.
This invaluable text features examples, reflection questions, role-play exercises, and case studies that demonstrate how counselling skills are used outside of the typical one-hour counselling session, impacting the daily life of children and youth in their lifespaces. Students will develop essential skills within the field with a focus on diversity, inclusion, and anti-oppression.
Child and Youth Care Interviewing and Counselling is an essential must-read resource for Child and Youth Care, Social Work, and Human Services programs at colleges and universities in Canada and the United States.
