NURS 326

This course focuses on the knowledge and skills required to support collaborative care with people who are living with common mental health and substance use disorders. Theoretical and clinical approaches draw on holistic, relational, and strengths-based concepts, including cultural safety, trauma-informed practice, and advanced therapeutic communication. Rural and northern contexts are emphasized. Students have an opportunity to further develop mental health nursing knowledge and skills in the clinical setting. Students must be registered in NURS 328-(1, 2) to participate in a Year 3 combined theory and practice course.
