CAMH offers facilitator-led online courses, which you can participate in from any computer with Internet access. People with all levels of computer expertise can take these courses – the technology is user–friendly and easy to master, and support is available if you need it.

The courses run for approximately eight weeks, and they require a minimum time commitment of four hours per week. They provide a collaborative learning environment, where you will read through course content and engage in group discussions with other learners, guided by an experienced team of two or more online facilitators who are experts in their fields. Some of our courses are approved for Canadian Addiction Counsellors Certification Federation continuing education credit hours (CACCF CEC Hours).
