| Description | The Mental Health and Addiction program has been designed to ensure graduates are skilled in both mental health and addictions according to the latest industry standards.
During the first semester of your educational journey, you will be introduced to the field with courses in Human Service, Power Privilege and Oppression, Counselling Interventions I, and Mental Health and Recovery. You will also learn about Indigenous Studies.
Fleming College's Mental Health and Addiction program is aligned to the most recent competencies established for the field of addictions and mental health. In 2014, Competencies for Canada's Substance Abuse Workforce were introduced to establish the different levels of competencies required to work in the field of addictions (CCSA, 2014). In 2015, the Mental Health Commission of Canada introduced Guidelines for Recovery-Oriented Practice to guide competencies required to work in the field of mental health (MHCC, 2015). | | |
