Objectifs et capacités de Apprenant.es

Our post graduate Concurrent Disorders program students are ready to virtually support individuals, families, and communities who are facing challenges with addiction or mental health. As a “professional in training”, our students are ready to help out in various ways, developing their skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are necessary to enter the field as an addiction and mental health worker practitioner. We are looking for placement sites where students can apply in practice the concepts and theories learned in the classroom. The students have learned in the classroom about many aspects of addiction and mental health work, including interpersonal skills, counseling, group facilitation, harm reduction, and case management. Please note that all of our students will have their Vulnerable Sector Screening completed.

The students are available for 200 hours of unpaid, for-credit work experience beginning in March, 2024
