This is an advanced, analysis-based, and applied course that extends the learning in SOCW 320. The curriculum examines Indigenous and western trauma-informed theories, practices, and approaches to concurrent disorders-a condition where an individual experiences both a mental health disorder and a substance use problem simultaneously-with a focus on culturally responsive and holistic support. Concurrent disorders will be examined with Indigenous and western perspectives of mental health and wellness, assessment and referral practices, psychiatric medication interactions, substance misuse, colonization, intergenerational trauma, social determinants of health, and cultural resiliency. Through case studies, critical analysis, collaborative learning, reflective practice, and applied care planning, learners engage with Indigenous and western knowledge systems to examine culturally responsive approaches to assessment, intervention, and recovery. Learners develop skills in trauma-informed assessment, critical analysis of concurrent disorders, culturally responsive communication, collaborative treatment planning, interdisciplinary practice, and the integration of Indigenous and western approaches to wellness and healing. 2027/01/14-2027/04/08 Lecture Thursday 01:00PM - 04:00PM, 4155 Belshaw, Room U031
