Course Description

Despite the reality that mental health and substance use challenges are prevalent within society, stigma continues to make it difficult to address, cope, and provide effective treatment. Navigating through the justice system with mental health and/or substance use challenges makes for further complications, given the level of stereotyping and prejudice additionally attached to crime-involved individuals. Learn about the biological and psychosocial foundation of mental health and substance use and the misconceptions that impact criminalization. Explore signs, symptoms, and behavioural characteristics of common mental health and substance use. Examine the importance of developing strong skills within this field and learning about personal self-care when providing support to those with mental health and substance use issues.
