Institution:

University of Maine at Machias

Subject:

Description:

This course will review systems of care provided by the state, as well as those provided by for-profit and not-for-profit entities, to serve the needs of behavioral health consumers. Essential components of this course include addressing contemporary public and social policy -- and social services provision within those policies -- including fundamentals of behavioral health care, child protection, and welfare systems. In addition, the course examines the history and impact of laws and regulatory standards that dictate these policies -- and ultimately service provision in behavioral care for children, adults and the elderly. Both current practices and historical precedent are woven into a model represented in both its completeness and contradictions. Prerequisite: PSY 110 or permission of instructor. 3 Cr
