CY-311

Recording the Lived Experiences of Child/Youth

In this course, the student will increase his/her ability to write various Child and Youth Care documents that are professionally presented, objective, clinically articulated and grounded in the theoretical frameworks that underpin Child and Youth Care (CYC) practice. Students are expected to translate their observations into a clinical framework by accurately reflecting the developmental needs of children/youth, within the context of their unique life-spaces, to lay the foundation for effective therapeutic/service planning. Various written reporting requirements (eg. children's mental health case planning system and the child welfare/youth justice plan of care planning systems) used in the field will be explored. A basic understanding of the role of narrative therapy will be explored, as it relates to the 'story' we create about children and youth through the documentation experience.
