Bachelor of Social Science – Addictions and Mental Health
Honours Degree
Program Code: MH411
Campus: Lakeshore
Length: 8 semesters
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. From a biopsychosocial perspective, our program focuses on the impact of social, historical, economic and political forces on addictions and mental health and examines the opportunities for prevention, harm reduction and recovery. Students are encouraged to critically analyze systemic issues, develop and apply skills in counselling, case management, community development 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 that include 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.
In the third year, students will enhance their theoretical and applied studies with a 420-hour in a community setting. Students will have the option of completing field experience hours on a full-time (summer) or part-time basis (over the fall and winter semesters) based on their individual situations. During this time, students will enhance their skills and apply the knowledge that they have acquired before embarking on their senior coursework.
