The programme runs for 3 semesters, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 19,469 per year (CAD 7,188 per year for local students).
Delivered through online study, this graduate certificate develops a client-centred and culturally relevant approach to frontline addiction and mental health care, with study spanning mental health disorders and addiction, covering treatment approaches, prevention, counselling, case management, and related practice skills.
