This course provides an overview of current key concepts and models in the field of substance use applying the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model, the stages of change model as well as the harm-reduction approach to practice. You will be able to identify existing barriers to accessing help and have the opportunity to explore ethical issues and challenges working with clients.

This course can also be contracted for online delivery. Online activities are interactive and include presentations, readings, website explorations, discussions and the completion of learning activities. No previous online learning experience is required to participate in this course. This 14-hour course spans six weeks, and participants are required to participate in two teleconference calls. This is a prerequisite for further courses in the Substance Use Certificate. For more information on contract training contact Susan Forest, Program Manager at 604.528.5711.
