Abstract

Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board has employed Child and Youth Workers to help address the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of students within its elementary and secondary schools. A number of CYW roles have evolved. Additional educational jurisdictions in Ontario and other provinces have begun to utilize CYWs to deliver supportive services to students. This paper summarizes evolution of a model of Child and Youth Work developed within the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board and provides an overview of the philosophy and practice of CYWs employed. It is believed that school­ based Child and Youth Work is an expanding area of practice for CYWs and that their experience will be both instructive and valuable to others.
