Overview

Graduate Certificate - Addictions: Treatment and Prevention

At Georgian College, students develop the skill set to provide a client-centred and client-driven continuum of treatment for individuals with addiction problems. 

With a strong framework of individual and group counselling skills, students study individual, gender, and societal considerations and the resulting treatment implications through the lens of trauma-informed care. 

They practice motivational interviewing techniques, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and dialectal behaviour therapy (DBT) while learning to match client needs with intervention options. 

In addition, students reconstruct education and prevention strategies to design, facilitate and evaluate such tools.
