Working with Diverse Clients

Course description

Working effectively with people with mental health challenges requires an ability to recognize and appropriately respond to diverse ethnic, religious and cultural characteristics. Students develop and practice the skills required to work collaboratively with a wide range of populations, including indigenous and racialized communities, women, youth, older adults, people with disabilities, gender fluid and non-binary persons, and those who may present with persistent mental disorders. Diverse perspectives, roles and goals of different members within the circle of care are explored, and the impact of how this collaboration affects recovery is examined

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.
