Program details
Overview
The diploma prepares graduates to assess, plan, treat and evaluate care for older teens and adults facing acute, persistent or co-occurring mental health and addiction difficulties. Using a Psychosocial Recovery framework, coursework builds theoretical grounding, assessment skills and counselling interventions aimed at helping individuals and families through recovery, while working collaboratively with people affected by substance use and related difficulties. Applied learning is emphasized throughout, with specific technique development covering motivational interviewing, stage-wise case management, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Interprofessional Mental Health & Addictions Post-Degree Diploma requires a completed bachelor's degree from a recognized post-secondary institution in Child and Youth Care, Education, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, or Social Work; the programme notes that other degrees combined with experience in a helping role may be considered, subject to confirmation with the Program Leader. On top of the credential, applicants must submit a resume listing relevant work and volunteer experience and a 400-500 word statement of intention setting out career goals and motivation for entering the programme. The admissions page publishes no minimum grade point average and no English-language test score (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL); the bachelor's degree itself, from a recognized institution, is the stated entry requirement.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC for Camosun's open-enrolment programmes: for Fall 2027 (September) applications open 1 October 2026 with an early deadline of 15 May 2027 for priority registration and a late deadline of 26 August 2027; Winter 2027 (January) runs 15 September 2026 to 7 January 2027, and Summer 2027 (May) 15 January 2027 to 29 April 2027. Limited-enrolment programmes publish only an opening date and can close once the waitlist exceeds the seats on offer. International applicants must submit a complete application by 1 June (Fall), 1 October (Winter) or 1 February (Summer), though later applications are still reviewed while seats remain, making admission effectively rolling for both groups once the early deadlines pass. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
