What We Are About
CYC Assets is geared to the Child and Youth Practitioner who desires further professional development on topics pertaining to working with children, youth, and families.
Our webinars will also be of interest to anyone in the social services sector who wishes to gain knowledge about children and youth from a strength-based perspective.
Perhaps you are a novice and wish to gain knowledge and practical skills that will help you be more successful early in your career. Maybe you are looking to branch out to another area of Child and Youth Care and need some environment-specific strategies and skills to ace that interview. You might be a seasoned professional in the field wanting to continue your knowledge with the latest evidence-based programs, research, and resources to keep current.
We are here to fill all of those needs with our cost and time-effective webinars.
We developed the CYC Professional Development Tracker App to fulfill your need to keep track of all your PD based on our domains of practice. Please visit the PD Tracker tab for more information.
We also offer the Counsellor PD Tracker App for those practitioners who do not record their PD based on the CYC Domains of Practice. Both apps are available in the Google Play Store.
