Child & Youth Worker Program at Fanshawe College

 

I am pleased once again to be a part of Fanshawe College’s CYW program at the Woodstock campus. This is a 3 year program with 6 semesters (3 in class at the college and 3 in the field). I am looking forward to reconnecting with a number of former students as their college supervisor. This 4 month field placement is where the students are able to put their academic training into practice.

Parents' Comments

“Our psychiatrist recommended Rick to help us sort out behaviour management issues for our autistic son. He was an invaluable help.”

(C.C. – Sarnia)
