They advocate for policies and practices that promote social inclusion by working to eliminate discrimination and inequality based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, and other factors. By advocating for inclusive policies at the organizational, community, and governmental levels, they contribute to creating environments that welcome diverse populations.
Our social work professionals also work directly with individuals and groups who may experience marginalization or exclusion. Through counseling, therapy, case management, and other interventions, they help clients overcome barriers to inclusion and empower them to participate fully in their communities. This may involve providing support for accessing resources, navigating systems, and building social connections.

The social work program team works closely with these agencies to support our community’s most vulnerable populations, including children and youth, families, Indigenous peoples, seniors and many other low-income or people in crisis.
