This course will provide students the opportunity to understand trauma as a public health issue from interpersonal- and disaster-based perspectives. Students will strengthen their skills through critical analysis of published research on trauma, trauma-informed approaches, treatment, recovery and resilience-building. Students will apply their skills to create a strategic plan for a topic of their own choosing related to trauma-informed approaches or resilience-building, or develop a strategic plan that incorporates trauma-informed approaches and resilience-building for an established program/intervention/initiative through collaboration with community partners.
