It combines courses from psychology and other allied disciplines as well as more applied training from different campus partners. Thus, this certificate is great introduction to these topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All prospective students should note, however, that this certificate does not offer professional training or credentials for any helping profession. Students who seek careers in clinical psychology, counselling, psychiatry, nursing, social work, or health sciences should explore those programs specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note that the Certificate in Multidisciplinary Studies in Mental Health and Well-Being will no longer be available as of the 2026-27&nbsp;academic year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n        \n    \n    <dl class=\"cu-description cu-component-updated\">\n        \n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-who-can-select-this-certificate\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    Who can select this Certificate?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-who-can-select-this-certificate\">\n            \n\n<p>It may be taken concurrently with any degree (except for psychology students with the Stream in Mental Health and Well-Being) or following the successful completion of any undergraduate degree. Two groups of students should be especially interested: current students who wish to combine it with any other Carleton degree or returning students whose area of expertise is distant from psychology and who want to get a tailored introduction. Students who already have degrees in psychology (or have work experience in the area of mental health and well-being) may not benefit as much from this certificate, however. They would be advised to seek more specialized training if they wish to further develop their knowledge base and skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An important note about residency. <\/strong>Section 2.2.2 of the Undergraduate Calendar states that students must obtain at least \u201cnew\u201d 4.0 credits from Carleton to earn any certificate. Hence, degree students who are returning to Carleton for this certificate and who have already completed some of its courses may be required to take additional credits to fulfill this residency requirement. Students in this situation are strongly encouraged to seek advising.

Offer may vary or change without notice. Also, some training is only offered during the academic year. Hence, all students are strongly encouraged to complete this aspect of the certificate as early as possible.&nbsp; You are ultimately responsible for meeting this requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 12-hours of non-credit training are meant to give students a breath of knowledge in different areas related to mental health and wellness. As such, in cases where a single non-credit training course and\/or workshop is equivalent to 12 hours or more, students will have to take another single non-credit training course or workshop to fulfil the non-credit training requirements for the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><u>Approved list of non-credit training for the 2025-26 Academic Year<\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mentoring\/training\/safetalk\/\">Living Works Start.<\/a> A fully online 2 hour module, you will learn a powerful four-step model to keep someone safe from suicide, and you will have a chance to practice it with impactful simulations.

Only non-credit training given by Carleton that appears on the Co-Curricular Record will be approved. We recognize that that excellent training in mental health and well-being is offered in Ottawa and across Canada, but we do not have any mechanism to vet it. Moreover, we want to encourage students to discover the many great resources available at Carleton. Finally, we know that the non-credit training that students take on campus will not incur additional costs. Hence, the certificate will only count relevant non-credit training offered at Carleton for these reasons. One last note. Each year, a variety of non-credit training is provided to students on campus. Therefore, it should not be difficult for you to find something that complements your existing knowledge base if you have already received mental and well-being training elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-how-do-i-add-this-certificate\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    How do I add this certificate?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-how-do-i-add-this-certificate\">\n            \n\n<p>You can add the certificate by emailing the Registrar\u2019s Office at <a href=\"mailto:registrar@carleton.ca\">registrar@carleton.ca<\/a> from your Carleton email account.
