Train for a new career with flexible in-class, hybrid and online learning options.
Academy of Learning’s Community Service Worker with Addictions Worker Specialty diploma program helps you build the knowledge and practical skills needed to support individuals facing personal, social and substance abuse challenges.
You’ll learn about mental health, addictions and recovery while developing skills in counselling approaches, communication and case management. You’ll build an understanding of how to support people in a respectful and structured way, from helping identify needs to connecting individuals with resources such as housing, counselling and community support.
You’ll also apply what you’ve learned through a field placement in a community setting, helping you gain practical experience, confidence and insight before you graduate. This training can support career paths in settings such as community service centres, youth centres, rehabilitation centres, mental health centres, addictions counselling clinics, and community food and housing programs.
