Introduction

Certificate in Emergency Mental Health is a program taught at Douglas College, Canada. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (Learners have up to 18 months from start date to complete al) options.

The Certificate in Emergency Mental Health (EMH) is a structured theoretical and practicum-based program for health care professionals who want to support individuals and families during mental health crises and/or emergencies. Douglas College says graduates will cover legislation and its impact on EMH practice, provincial mental health services and resources, triaging emergency mental health calls, crisis theory and practice models, and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Mental Health and Substance Use disorders.

Douglas College delivers the program through three courses: Emergency Mental Health: Framework for Practice (CMHC 711), Emergency Mental Health: Clinical and Diagnostic Concepts (CMHC 712), and Emergency Mental Health Practicum (CMHC 713). Tuition and the length of each course are provided on the linked course pages. Learners complete the full certificate by finishing all three courses; the first two theory courses can be completed on their own but do not lead to the certificate.
