Course Requirements and Prerequisites

This course can be taken alone; however, it qualifies as an elective for the Concurrent Disorders Certificate Program. Electives must be taken within a four-year period after completing the core course; any courses taken prior to the core program will not count toward the certificate. Participants will need to either re-take those courses or select electives that they have not previously taken. The Concurrent Disorders Core Course must be taken first and then you will need to complete only two electives (listed below):

• Basic Pharmacology in Mental Health and Substance Use    
• Interactions Between Psychiatric Medications and Substances of Abuse    
• Legal Issues in Mental Health Care in Ontario
• Motivational Interviewing Introduction Course

Course Overview

This course is part of the Concurrent Disorders Certificate and is intended for mental health, addiction and allied health professionals who have completed the Concurrent Disorders Core Course and who have experience working with clients with concurrent disorders. The course aims to help these learners further their understanding of the recovery-oriented approach. Most of the content is applicable not just to recovery from both mental illness and substance use issues, but also to recovery from either one or the other. This seven-week course consists of seven modules, allowing learners to focus on one module per week.
