Course Descriptions

This course will explore theory and practice of current issues affecting public mental health and the provision of mental health services in the community. This focus of the class will change year to year to allow for greater breadth of coverage of the current mental health-related issues of the day. For example, the focus might be on the impact of community violence on mental health service provision; when our clients are immigrants; the impact of multi-generational trauma on families; the use of a specific best practice in CMH; the use of specific community-informed practices at use in public mental health. The course may include an online component and fieldwork in the community as part of class requirements. CMH student
