Social Service Worker – Gerontology (SSWG)
Countries around the world are seeing a rapid increase in aging populations, resulting in an increased need for trained professionals. In Canada, one in four Canadians will be over the age of 65 by 2035. This two-year diploma program combines the knowledge, professional values and skill sets of social service to teach you how to support older adults to maintain independence and a good quality of life. The program draws from a biopsychosocial model and an anti-oppressive framework emphasizing a holistic, strength-based approach, situated within current legislation and best practices.
