Trauma Counseling II: Assessment, Interventions and Applications in Trauma Treatment
This noncredit course offers an overview of assessment and evidence-based and alternative intervention modalities. From psychological first aid to multidisciplinary care, we explore many approaches to trauma treatment for adults and children. This program benefits professionals in the mental health field and other service providers who want to better understand the best practices in trauma treatment.
Each week, participants receive readings and videos, and have assignments to respond to discussions online. This course is expected to take a total of 40 hours, with four hours of class work each week. The dynamic interactions in class discussion posts create a broad perspective from many professions of trauma, its effects and challenges.
This course can be applied to the Trauma Counseling Certificate.
