Health + Human Services

If you want to make a difference in a health and human services position, you’ll need empathy, courage and tenacity. You’ll also need the kind of education and training you can get right here at CCC.

From basic skills, like relating to clients and helping them find and use support services, to major projects, like planning and running your own human services program, we’ve got you.

If you’re looking to get to work quickly or just increase your skills, you can get a Certificate of Accomplishment in Substance Abuse Case Management, Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Peer Support Services, or Dual Diagnosis Screening. Complete the requirements for all four of those and you can earn a Certificate of Achievement in Dual Diagnosis Specialization.

You can also take your knowledge to the next level with a transfer-ready Associate Degree in Human Services.

You know, education is really the key to be successful. I know for a fact that I wouldn’t be working without the education I got from Contra Costa College. People like Professor Mickles literally saved my life.
