Indigenous Social Work Diploma
The Indigenous Social Work Diploma Program at Maskwacis Cultural College is designed to graduate social work practitioners who have developed a model of practice that is founded upon Indigenous values, knowledge, and philosophy. Guided by this Indigenous foundation, students learn how to establish respectful relationships with Nations, communities, families, and individuals. As students explore Cree culture and Cree language, they are educated about Indigenous healing practices and their supporting theories. From this Indigenous foundation students explore the development of Western social work theory and practice.
The Indigenous Social Work Diploma Program is a 20 month program, two 10 month academic years.
