Current students, please make sure to review your MyHumber Academic Progress report to confirm which courses you should register into for your Winter semester. Courses with in-person requirements will likely also have online components. Humber may need to change plans for in-person learning, subject to government and public health directives and/or additional health and safety considerations.
Upon successful completion of the program, a graduate will:
Analyze historical and contemporary approaches, theories, values and methods in addictions and mental health studies.
Situate theories, practices and policies in mental health and addictions within the broad context and traditions of the social sciences.
Determine appropriate practices based on critical reading of published research and traditional indigenous knowledge in mental health literature and case studies.
Conduct secondary research in order to write scholarly articles, which summarize the current issues in the field of addiction and mental health.
Advocate for community supports and services for individuals, families and the community with respect to addictions and mental health.
Provide non-biased and culturally competent guidance/assistance to a range of clients with issues relating to addictions and mental health, from diverse populations and backgrounds, and their supports as they are identified by the primary client.
Develop, implement and evaluate treatment plans with clients and families with respect to addictions and mental health.
Provide professional services within inter-professional teams providing ethical, legal, effective, timely, and coordinated services within the scope of practice.
Counsel clients and groups effectively in order to empower the individual’s and/or the group’s capacity for self-efficacy.
Describe the limits of the explanatory power of theoretical constructs in order to retain appropriate measures of flexibility and responsiveness in working with clients.
Plan for longevity and wellness in a demanding field, including considerations for self-care, reflective practice, use of constructive feedback, and ongoing professional development.
Work Placement
In the third year, students will enhance their theoretical and applied studies with a work- integrated learning placement totalling 420 hours in a community setting. Students will have the option of completing placement hours on a full-time (summer) or part-time basis (over the fall and winter semesters) based on their individual situations. During this time, they will be able to practise the skills and apply the knowledge that they have acquired before embarking on their senior course work.
Our Professors
You'll learn from experienced professors who are active in the field of addictions and mental health. Our professors are committed to providing you with practical learning opportunities to help you achieve the career you want.
