Mental Health and Addictions Self Directed Educational Opportunity

The educational materials and content provided on this webpage are to support health care professionals to provide more effective care to those living with Mental Health and Addictions.

 This step-by-step training will help to fill in the blanks and help to increase your confidence in providing the best health care for your patients. If you are not a direct care provider, this information will still be useful in understanding the complexities that our patients face, and may influence you to think differently in your role. 

​

Each section has an estimated completion time, to help you budget your time. It is created in a linear way to help build knowledge on foundational elements, and is best completed in order.

​

**Please note** the first three modules can be accessed by selecting the link below the title. It will take you to an education page from CAMH. For these three modules, there is an optional "review" section at the end. There have been some reported issues with this - feel free to skip the review.  Once you have completed the training, log on to LMS to complete the 4 tests that will demonstrate your completion of this training. They have been assigned to you and can be found under "my learning".
