Course description
Addresses a range of school-based emotional and behavioural problems (e.g., disruptive behaviour, aggression, bullying, delinquency, anxiety and depression, eating disorders, risk-taking behaviours, truancy) that occur in the school-aged population (6-18 years). Social, environmental, and medical inter-agency sources of the problems are examined, via contemporary theory frames and analytical tools. Skills in identification, assessment and management of specific problem issues are developed using a problem-based approach. This course may not be offered internally if the enrolment is less than 10 students.
