精神健康和药物滥用-高危人群毕业证书计划将为未来的人类和健康服务提供者提供所需的知识和应用技能，以转变为与受精神健康和/或精神疾病影响的人相关的服务和计划规划，交付和评估角色或物质使用问题。随着这些部门的提供者越来越多地跨界工作以解决这些人群的复杂和交叉需求，学生将学习如何在实践，计划和系统级别上检查和解决服务质量。学习者将更深入地了解社区合作，公众参与，社会包容和倡导在与处境复杂的人一起工作中的重要性。自决，能力建设，复原力，恢复和赋权等综合主题将从以人为本，基于社区和面向人口的角度进行审查。
The Mental Health and Substance Use graduate certificate program will provide future human and health service providers with knowledge and applied skills needed to move into service and program planning, delivery and evaluation roles related to persons who are affected by mental health and/or substance use problems. These roles complement and extend clinical services provided by other personnel in a direct delivery organization. As providers in these sectors work increasingly across boundaries to address the complex and intersecting needs of these populations, students will learn how to examine and address service quality at the practice, program and system levels. Learners will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of community collaboration, public participation, social inclusion, and advocacy in their work with persons experiencing complex conditions. Integrative themes of self-determination, capacity building, resilience, recovery and empowerment will be examined from person-centred, community-based and population-oriented perspectives.<br><br>Length: 1 year<br>Start: May 2024<br>Campus: Kitchener Doon<br>Credential: Ontario College Graduate Certificate
