What loss and grief look like for Children and Youth in Care
The Child and Youth Care Professional Development Tracker (CYC PD Tracker) is a comprehensive tool designed to facilitate the ongoing growth and development of professionals working with children, youth and families.
This dynamic platform serves as a centralized hub for tracking progress, setting goals, all tabled under our CYC Domains of Practice. The platform offers a user-friendly interface, making it easy for users to navigate and utilize its various features. It let’s you see the cumulative hours you have in each of the five domains. A valuable feature is the “Reflection of Learning” that you can choose to complete for each PD activity you track.
Use Trial30 to test it out for 30 days before your credit/debit card is charged. At only $10/year CDN, it is an essential addition to your toolbox.
