SOSV3210 Rus og avhengighet Emneplan

Bruk av rusmidler og ulike former for avhengighet skaper sosiale- og helsemessige problemer og angår brukere i kontakt med de fleste hjelpetjenester i helse- og sosialsektoren. Emnet er basert på nasjonal og internasjonal forskning, samt erfaringsbasert kunnskap fra et bredt praksisfelt. Forståelse- og forklaringsmodeller har betydning for hvordan brukere blir møtt og hva slags tiltak som tilbys.

Mental health, social conditions, life in the city and a multicultural environment affect people's options for participating in activity, social groups and the community. Participation is of great importance when it comes to people's mental health and social integration. In a society characterised by rapid movement, marginalised groups and their right to activity and participation deserves particular attention. Occupational therapists help people who encounter psychological and social challenges in mastering daily life and participating in society.

The interprofessional programme INTER1200, 'Communication with children, youths and their families', is part of this course. This is intended to form a common platform for all the students involved. Some of the work is carried out in interprofessional student groups. For further information about Interact, see: https://interact.hioa.no/
