Nurse Educator Mental Health and Addiction Resource

The purpose of the RNAO Nurse Educator Mental Health and Addiction Resource is primarily to support educators with effectively integrating mental health and addiction knowledge and skills into the undergraduate nursing curriculum. The resource is based on the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) and the Canadian Federation of Mental Health Nurses (CFMHN) Entry-to- Practice Mental Health and Addiction Competencies for Undergraduate Nursing Education in Canada (2015) and supporting research.

This resource is relevant to nurse educators, nursing students, new graduate nurses, nurses and other health-care providers across the continuum of care, interested in integrating best practices related to mental health and addiction to ultimately support the person and their family receiving care.
