Association of Social Workers in Northern Canada
Professional Social Workers in the North are found in many settings. Areas of practice include child protection, adoption, services to the aged and handicapped, alcohol and drug counseling, income support, child and family therapies, mental health services, correctional services and social planning. There are few specialists - most social workers are called upon to provide a wide spectrum of services.

Learning Disabilities Association of the NWT
The Learning Disabilities Association of the Northwest Territories (LDA-NWT), then known as The Northwest Territories Association for Children (and Adults) with Learning Disabilities, was incorporated as a registered NWT society in September 1981. Immediately, it began offering information and support for parents of pre-school children in Yellowknife. This resulted in a small parent-directed home schooling project which, five years later, became a separate organization called The Learning Centre.

The Learning Centre
A territorially approved, non-profit private school. The emphasis is placed on providing a solid grounding in reading and mathematics skills. Group size is small and students receive individual attention and program modification as needed.
