The Special Care Counselling Program leads to a rewarding career path that offers students the chance to work with people who have physical, mental, intellectual, neurological, emotional and behavioural issues.
 
The SCC program provides people-oriented students with the professional skills necessary to develop therapeutic relationships and give support to a broad range of people of all ages who have special needs. Students are trained to assess, develop, implement and evaluate goal- directed clinical interventions designed to enhance a person’s quality of life.
 
Students of the Special Care Counselling program participate in three separate supervised fieldwork placements where they can put into practice the skills they learn in course work.
 
The role of the Special Care Counsellor is continually growing and expanding. In the 3-year SCC program students acquire the combination of theoretical and practical knowledge needed to both work in this exciting and constantly evolving helping profession, or to continue their studies at the University level if they choose to do so.
 
SCC graduates are also eligible for advance standing or can receive course equivalencies in selected university programs.
 
Given that Special Care Counsellors work with families, schools, cultural communities and a team of multi-disciplinary professionals, students who become SCCs must be compassionate, creative, sensitive, patient, and observant individuals who have a strong passion for helping others.
