Honours Bachelor of Social Work

One year program

Social Work is a growing and challenging profession which provides vital services for individuals, groups, families and communities with various kinds of problems in living. Those involved in social work believe in dignity and worth of each human being and the potential of all persons for continued growth and development through out their life spans.

The social work program at Lakehead, which concentrates on being relevant to the social service needs of northern populations, is an innovative program based on an ecological view of social work practice. This approach stresses the social worker's role In providing and facilitating a comprehensive range of helping experiences which relate to the client’s needs as a whole person. This requires skill in an integrated practice method which students learn through both classroom courses and field practice experiences in human service agencies with actual client cases under supervision of a field instructor.

HBSW at Lakehead is fully accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of Social Work which is the standard setting body for Canadian social work programs.

Seven Generations Education Institute and Lakehead is delivering this program to meet the needs of our communities. Students have begun their studies. However, there is an opportunity for those holding the prerequisites to apply for a 2010 start date. If you are interested, call Sherri Oshawee.
