| The heart of Social Service is accompanying individuals and families and helping them overcome life’s most difficult challenges. In Dawson’s Social Service Program, you will learn skills and techniques that will help you accompany, care for, protect and guide your vulnerable clients. With these skills, you will intervene in difficult situations, find resources, propose solutions, inform clients about their rights and help protect children, elderly people and marginalized people. Classroom learning is put into practice during three internships in the community that add up to a grand total of 765 hours of real experience. Dawson College offers Quebec’s only Social Service Program in English. |
