Course Description The University of Manitoba Undergraduate Calendar describes this course as follows:
The focus of this course is to increase the student's knowledge about addictions as well as to develop student's skills for intervention with families affected by addiction within the context of child and family services. Emphasis is on experiential learning of knowledge, process and techniques.
General Course Information The increase of alcohol and drug use among women has had a profound effect on the safety of children in our communities. Unfortunately, parental addictions, particularly mothers who are addicted to alcohol and drugs, are among the hardest to program for and the children often stay in the child welfare system longer than they should. As a result, these children often have the poorest outcomes in the child welfare system which may lead to long term problems as adults. The issue of addictions and child welfare has some major implications for service provision in the province of Manitoba. Manitoba has the distinction of having one of the highest rates of children in care in the country and again, a large number are in care as a result of parental addictions. Unfortunately, while this province has shown great leadership and innovation in the area of FASO as well as support programs for women who drink while pregnant, it lags behind in the development of appropriate addiction treatment programs for women with families. Services for fathers and families are even harder to access. Child Welfare, as a service system in Manitoba, has not yet developed any significant level of programming to support families with addicted parents.
Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:
describe the legislation, polices and standards that influence the field; describe current practices in the field and some of the issues inherent in the development of
those practices; describe theories of addictions and their application to child welfare practice; compare the relationship between healthy family functioning and addictions; apply a 'determinants of health' approach to explore the effects of parental addictions on short
and long term outcomes for children; outline some of the issues facing children affected by maternal addictions; analyze some of the critical issues in the field of Addictions and Child Welfare; illustrate models of practice for families affected by addictions; reflect on how the course material might influence your future practice as a child care worker; assess current research in the field of Addictions and Child Welfare and how that research
reflects on day to day practice in the field; and develop and defend a position on a controversial topic in the field of Child Welfare and
Addictions.

Course Overview This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of some of the critical issues related to addictions and child welfare. The course will begin with an overview of theories of addictions and explore their application to intervention and treatment approaches. It will then look at issues related to women and children and addictions, including intervening with pregnant women and working with children affected by prenatal alcohol abuse. The course will also look critically at current issues in the field of addictions and child welfare by exploring how the child welfare system needs to respond to families affected by addictions. It will look at a variety of programs that have shown some promise in the field and explore how their application might be generalized to other agencies.

Academic Integrity: Plagiarism or any other form of cheating in examinations, term tests or academic work is subject to serious academic penalty (e.g. suspension or expulsion from the faculty or university). To plagiarize is to take ideas or words of another person and pass them off as one’s own. In short, it is stealing something intangible rather than an object. Plagiarism applies to any written work, in traditional or electronic format, as well as orally or verbally presented work. Obviously it is not necessary to state the source of well known or easily verifiable facts, but students are expected to appropriately acknowledge the sources of ideas and expressions they use in their written work, whether quoted directly or paraphrased. This applies to diagrams, statistical tables and the like, as well as to written material, and materials or information from Internet sources. I strongly encourage students to review Student Advocacy website. The website also provides a tutorial that is very helpful in understanding academic dishonesty. For students taking this course from other post-secondary institutions please review the policies on academic dishonesty from your home institutions. If you are unsure of the appropriate practices to avoid plagiarism please consult with the instructor. The common penalty at the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Social Work for students who have been found to have plagiarized on a written assignment is F on the paper and F(CW) (compulsory withdrawal) for the course. For the more serious acts of plagiarism, such as the purchase of an essay or repeat violations, this penalty can also include suspension for a period of up to five years from the Faculty of Social Work.

Attendance
The University of Manitoba Faculty of Social Work has a social mandate to ensure that students graduating with a Bachelor of Social Work degree are skilled practitioners who are worthy of the public trust placed in them. Social work courses have been designed to ensure that students have the opportunity to integrate appropriate professional knowledge, values, and skills. When the University confers the Bachelor of Social Work degree, it attests that not only has the student successfully completed all required examinations and assignments, but that the students has also participated in the entire educational experience offered in all courses and demonstrated an appropriate level of professional responsibility and accountability. It is a program expectation that all students will attend all classes and web-conferences. The 420 hours for the field practicum are mandatory. When absenteeism is unavoidable, students are required to communicate their absence to the instructor prior to the class. Punctuality is also expected for all classes and web conferences. Instructors may also ‘count’ late arrivals as an ‘absence’, and may ask the student to remain out of class until an appropriate time to enter, particularly if interruptions will distract the whole class. Students cannot miss more than 15% of class time or one web conference per course each term. The 420 hours for the field practicum are mandatory. If students anticipate missing additional time or more than one web conference they should consult with the course instructor and the student services support staff on their campus/program location. The names of students who have been absent beyond these guidelines will be forwarded by the course instructors to the student services support staff on their campus/program location. Consultation will occur with the student, the course instructor, and student services support staff. The Associate Dean of the Undergraduate programs will be consulted as necessary.

Plagiarism, cheating and examination impersonation Plagiarism is defined in the University of Manitoba General Calendar, and it carries serious academic penalities. The common penalty in the Faculty of Social Work for plagiarism on a written assignment is F on the paper and F(CW) (for Compulsory Withdrawal) for the course. For the most serious acts of plagiarism, such as the purchase of an essay or repeat violations, this penalty can also include suspension for a period of up to five years from the Faculty of Social Work. If you are unsure of the appropriate practices to avoid plagiarism please consult with the instructor.
Academic Misconduct and Plagiarism The University of Manitoba adopts the following policy regarding academic misconduct, which can be found in Section 3.15 of the Academic Calendar. Academic misconduct is intentional cheating, fabrication, impersonation or plagiarism. It is also knowingly helping or attempting to help others to be dishonest. Academic dishonesty lowers scholastic quality and defrauds others who will eventually depend on their own knowledge and integrity. Plagiarism or any other form of cheating on examinations, term tests, or assignments is subject to academic penalty as serious as suspension or expulsion from the Faculty of University. Students who are unsure of what constitutes academic misconduct are encouraged to visit the University of Manitoba information on Academic Integrity and the UM Policy and Procedures for Academic Integrity. Students may also find the Academic Integrity Tutorial helpful.
