Reeves College Is Accepting
Applications to the 44-Week Diploma Program
Edmonton,
AB and
Lloydminster,
AB – January 5, 2015 – The Addictions and Community Services Worker diploma
program is now available at Reeves College’s
Edmonton
City Centre and
Lloydminster
campus.
Being an Addictions and Community
Services Worker is a demanding but rewarding career choice suited for
compassionate, passionate, and resilient individuals. These professionals face
a cornucopia of challenging situations on a regular basis with cases including from
alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence, and more.
Reeves College’s program educates its
students on the fundamentals of addiction, relapse prevention and intervention,
how to effectively work with families, interview techniques, and more. Facing
unique cases on a daily basis, classroom education is now enough. Upon
finishing their classroom courses, students are required to complete a
mandatory field placement where they will hone in on the theories learned in
the classroom and adapt them to real-world situations.
“Before attending Reeves College, I was
not doing anything significant and wanted a change in careers,” says Reeves
College graduate Marley C. “I learned a lot of new skills, updated old ones,
and found it very beneficial in my practicum. The instructors and staff guided
and supported me and helped me achieve what I always wanted. Two days into my
practicum, I was offered a job. I feel now that I am in charge of my life.”
Social services workers experience
significant amount of mental and emotional fulfillment as well as stress in
their jobs. In such a tense environment, these professionals are at risk of
suffering secondary traumatic stress, which is why the program includes a
self-care course so students can help others as well as themselves.
