Program Overview
Humber’s Bachelor of Social Science - Addictions and Mental Health program provides you with degree level education, knowledge and skills required to work in this field. The program is firmly grounded in the theory and application of counselling, policy, governance, social science and research while exploring psychological and sociological influences. In addition, the program focuses on the analysis of social, historical, economic and political issues while exploring the effects these systems have on mental health and opportunities for prevention and harm reduction. The program encourages students to analyze broad issues and develop and apply skills in case management, counselling and grant writing.
Courses in the first year are part of the common platform with other degrees at Humber offered in the field of social science. In the second year of study, students immerse themselves in the field of addictions and mental health in courses including equity and inclusion, assessment, and counselling. This solid foundation of theory and application is followed by two years of further in-depth study in ethics, advanced counselling, contemporary issues, inter-professional collaboration and research. Overall, the program emphasizes critical thinking, analytical skills, leadership/management and professional practice.
Learning Outcomes
- Upon successful completion of the program, a graduate will:
- Analyze historical and contemporary approaches, theories, values and methods in addictions and mental health studies.
- Situate theories, practices and policies in mental health and addictions within the broad context and traditions of the social sciences.
- Determine appropriate practices based on critical reading of published research and traditional indigenous knowledge in mental health literature and case studies.
- Conduct secondary research in order to write scholarly articles, which summarize the current issues in the field of addiction and mental health.
- Advocate for community supports and services for individuals, families and the community with respect to addictions and mental health.
- Provide non-biased and culturally competent guidance/assistance to a range of clients with issues relating to addictions and mental health, from diverse populations and backgrounds, and their supports as they are identified by the primary client.
- Develop, implement and evaluate treatment plans with clients and families with respect to addictions and mental health.
- Provide professional services within inter-professional teams providing ethical, legal, effective, timely, and coordinated services within the scope of practice.
- Counsel clients and groups effectively in order to empower the individual’s and/or the group’s capacity for self-efficacy.
- Describe the limits of the explanatory power of theoretical constructs in order to retain appropriate measures of flexibility and responsiveness in working with clients.
- Plan for longevity and wellness in a demanding field, including considerations for self-care, reflective practice, use of constructive feedback, and ongoing professional development.
Work Placement
In the third year, students will enhance their theoretical and applied studies with a work- integrated learning placement totalling 420 hours in a community setting. Students will have the option of completing placement hours on a full-time (summer) or part-time basis (over the fall and winter semesters) based on their individual situations. During this time, they will be able to practise the skills and apply the knowledge that they have acquired before embarking on their senior course work.
