Integrated Care Training

This programme is distinct for being the only public college offering in the Lower Mainland that integrates physical care training with mental health support strategies. Students develop the empathy, ethical framework, and practical skills necessary to assist with daily living tasks—such as personal grooming, mobility, and nutrition—while simultaneously learning to navigate the psychosocial complexities of mental health recovery. The curriculum is delivered through a blend of classroom theory, laboratory practice, and clinical placements, ensuring graduates are workforce-ready upon completion.
