Enhanced Clinical Skills

Course description

The field of addictions counselling continues to expand as more of the tools used to support clients become empirically validated. Students enhance their clinical tool kit by exploring and practising various treatment options including cognitive and behavioural therapies (CBT) such as brief solution focused, narrative, mindfulness and dialectical strategies. Through a trauma informed lens and grounded in motivational counselling, students develop the necessary skills to advocate for client success while simultaneously acknowledging their own professional limits and personal belief systems.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
