老年与社会文学士-心理健康与成瘾（荣誉）

心理健康与成瘾专业为学生提供了深入了解心理健康，成瘾与社会之间关系的机会。它涉及检查心理健康与更广泛的社会过程之间的联系，包括边缘化，偏差的形成以及健康的社会决定因素。通过探索基于生活经验的医疗保健叙述和第一手资料，学生应该开始欣赏心理健康领域内各种观点的多样性。学生还将对精神疾病以及利用社会变革和其他非生物医学干预手段来解决与精神健康和成瘾有关的问题并促进幸福的一些方法有深刻的了解。通过完成专业化，学生将有能力从多种理论和实践角度讨论心理健康和疾病。
The specialization in Mental Health and Addiction provides students with opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of the relationship between mental health, addiction, and society. It involves examining the links between mental health and wider social processes, including marginalization, the construction of deviance, and the social determinants of health. Through an exploration of healthcare narratives and firsthand accounts grounded in lived experience, students should begin to appreciate the diversity of perspectives within the world of mental health. Students will also gain a solid understanding of mental illness and some of the ways in which social change and other non-biomedical interventions can be harnessed to address issues related to mental health and addiction and to promote well-being. By completing the specialization, students will be equipped to discuss mental health and illness from a diversity of theoretical and practical perspectives.
