¿Qué aprenderé?

Description

Students develop the skill set to provide a client-centered and client driven continuum of treatment for individuals with addiction problems. With a strong framework of individual and group counselling skills, students study individual, gender, and societal considerations and the resulting treatment implications through the lens of trauma informed care. They practice motivational interviewing techniques, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and dialectal behaviour therapy (DBT) while learning to match client needs with intervention options. In addition, students reconstruct education and prevention strategies in an effort to design, facilitate and evaluate such tools.

Program Learning Outcomes

The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:

  • counsel individuals, families and groups affected by addictions;
  • integrate skills and knowledge to provide client-centered treatment;
  • incorporate family, gender, relational, social and cultural considerations in treatment planning;
  • plan, implement and evaluate psychosocial educational programs;
  • advocate for individuals and for social change;
  • practice ethically, professionally and openly;
  • utilize strategies essential to being a resilient and healthy practitioner;
  • employ environmentally sustainable practices within the profession;
  • apply basic entrepreneurial strategies to identify and respond to new opportunities.

Career Opportunities

Graduates may find career opportunities in a variety of settings and job roles including addictions counsellors, substance abuse counsellors, chemical withdrawal management counsellors, addictions nurses, problem gambling counsellors, and attendants in residential, out-patient, and street-front treatment settings.
