Mission Statement

HBJD is a multi-disciplinary department housing Social Work, Psychology, Legal Studies and First Nations Studies. Originally there was a fourth program as well, School Psychology, which first moved to another academic department and then was discontinued altogether in 2001. The remaining three programs have continued to the present day under this departmental structure together.
