Introduction

This diploma program addresses one of the most challenging areas in mental health: habits and addictions. Using motivational, cognitive, and behavioral tools, participants will learn to guide clients toward lasting recovery while minimizing the risk of relapse.

In India, over 14% of the population struggles with addiction, ranging from substance use to behavioral dependencies, yet less than 2% seek treatment.
