Overview
Addictions and Mental Health is a one-year program for graduate students who are committed to advancing their skills and knowledge. This program combines classroom instruction with a field placement for students to work with clients. This program is designed for graduate students who are interested in enhancing their knowledge and skills to advance their career or enter the workforce. Students learn the fundamental components of addictions and mental health issues, promotion and prevention, pharmacology, and social treatment approaches. This program is designed for recent college or university graduates aiming to deepen their knowledge before entering the workforce and for seasoned practitioners seeking career advancement. It prepares students for diverse roles in human services, including community programs, residential care, social services, early childhood and family centres, recreation and leisure services, gerontology programs, group homes and settings focused on addiction and mental illness prevention, intervention, and treatment of addictions and/or mental illness.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires a two- or three-year college diploma or university degree in a health or community service discipline; or an acceptable combination of related work experience and post-secondary education as judged by the College; or five years of community-services work experience judged equivalent, for which a resume and cover letter detailing that experience may be required. English language proficiency: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 5 overall with no section below 4.5, PTE Academic 58, Duolingo English Test 120 with no section below 105, or CAEL 70 overall with no section below 60. Before placement, applicants must hold a Standard First Aid certificate with CPR Level C, show proof of required vaccinations/immunizations to Ministry of Health guidelines, and pass a police record check and vulnerable-sector screening (including the Pardoned Sexual Offenders Database), plus a professional-practice health form and placement agreement.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
