communication researchStudents from Cambrian College are ready to virtually support individuals, families, and communities through delivering social service programming to clients. As a “professional in training”, our students are ready to help out in various ways, developing their skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are necessary to enter the field. We are looking for placement organizations where students can apply in practice the concepts and theories learned in the classroom. The students have learned in the classroom about many aspects of helping professions, including interpersonal skills, resource navigation, and case management.
Through their experiences students have goals which include the following:
- Develop and build progressive relationships between individuals and their care team in order to best meet the individual’s goals.
- Engage in the planning and development of wellness goals to minimize the challenges impacting the individual.
Learners
- Students can revise and/or help to create forms utilized with clients (e.g. support plans, transition plans) that are person-centered, strength-based, and in plain language.
- Students can update and/or create community resource directories.
