This program equips students to utilize psychological principles to maximize, strengthen, and enhance community and individual well-being. Further, students will use the biopsychosocial model of human growth and development to explore health promotion and healthy communities.
Illness management and recovery will be conceptualized from an evidence-based perspective while specifically attending to positive psychology theory and effective practice. Graduates of this program will be prepared for many health and psychology-related careers in public service or professional, college, or high school sports organizations.
Students in the Master of Psychology – Health and Wellness program at Adler University Vancouver benefit from a hands-on, experiential curriculum that blends theory with real-world practice. You’ll engage in practicum placements and applied research projects, developing skills in mental health assessment, intervention design, and community‐based program evaluation. Advanced coursework in stress management, resilience building, and culturally responsive care ensures you’re prepared to support diverse populations. Small class sizes and mentoring by expert faculty foster collaborative learning and professional networking. Graduates leave ready to lead positive change in health promotion, policy development, and interdisciplinary teams within public service, non-profits, and sports or wellness organizations.

Students who have officially withdrawn from the University or specific courses, may be entitled to a tuition refund to be paid within 15 business days of receipt of the official withdrawal or drop request.

- End of 10th calendar day of the course period, 100%.
- 11th calendar day of the course period through the end of the term, 0%
- To initiate a refund, written notice must be provided: (a) By a student to the institution when the student withdraws; or (b) By the institution to the student where the institution dismisses a student
*Refund entitlement is calculated on the total fees due under the contract, less the applicable nonrefundable application, deposit, or registration fees. Where total fees have not yet been collected, the institution is not responsible for refunding more than has been collected to date and a student may be required to make up monies due under the contract.
