Mount Royal has carved out a distinct niche by offering smaller class sizes, a robust liberal education and unique undergraduate programs. Currently, more than 15,000 credit students choose from 14 bachelor degrees and 40 majors.Mount Royal University is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Iyarhe Nakoda. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Mohkinstsis,” which we now call the city of Calgary. The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation.Mount Royal University is committed to removing barriers and fostering the inclusion of voices that have been historically underrepresented or discouraged in our society. In support of our belief that diversity in our faculty and staff enriches the work, learning and research experiences for the entire campus community, we strongly encourage members of the designated groups (women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and diverse sexual orientation and gender identities) to apply and self-identify.About the Department of Child Studies and Social WorkThe Bachelor of Child Studies program is housed within the Department of Child Studies and Social Work, in the Faculty of Health, Community and Education.

Thesuccess of this video highlighted the need for further simulation videos displaying theunique intervention and counselling skills used in the field of CYCC. Many videos usedin counselling courses show these skills being used in a one-on-one office setting,where in the field of CYCC, the skills are used in a multitude of contexts. Interventionsin CYCC practice are not always formal; we call this working in the person’s life space or therapeutic milieu(Feilberg, 2007). For example, CYCC’s may use these skills while driving to an appointment, doing chores around the home, or spending recreation time with the child, youth, and/or family. At this time, there are no videos available which simulate these experiences. This project aims to fill these gaps through the creation of CYCC counselling skills simulation videos.About the RoleThe research assistant will begin October 15th, 2024 and will be supervised by Jill Thompson (she/they), Assistant Professor in the department of Child Studies and Social Work.
