The Family and Community Counselling certificate program provides specialized training aimed at delivering personalized counselling and social services in alignment with the cultural values and beliefs of Indigenous communities. Students are encouraged to delve into their history and incorporate traditional knowledge and skills into their professional practice.
The Family & Community Counselling Certificate (FCCC) Program spans 11 months or a total of 39 credits, which includes a 200-hour practicum in the Social Services field.
