MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

Understanding trauma and its influences on children and adults can shift how professionals work with the individuals they serve.

LEARN. UNDERSTAND

Trauma affects individuals across their lifespan. Emotion, behavior, cognition and physical health are all affected. 

By learning trauma's impact on the brain, professionals can better understand the causes behind certain symptoms and reactions. As a result, they can better address real-world challenges with appropriate interventions. 

Who is this program for?
Any professional who works with at-risk youth or adults, including: law enforcement and correctional officers and administrators, social workers, victim advocates and child welfare workers, legal professionals, human services professionals, and teachers and higher education administrators. 

How long does it take to complete the program?
The program consists of four required courses (see below) that can be completed in less than a year. 

When can I take classes? 
Courses are offered on an accelerated 8-week course schedule.

Where will I take classes?
This program is fully online, so you can take classes from anywhere!

Why do I need a certificate in trauma and resiliency? 
A certificate in trauma and resiliency prepares you to address the challenges of those faced with past and present traumatic experiences. This equips you to build resiliency in those individuals, improving lifelong outcomes. With the certificate, you’ll be qualified to train coworkers and community members in trauma and resiliency. In addition to knowing how to address the challenges faced by others, you’ll understand the effects trauma has on you.
