I.
Comprehensive Core Course in Trauma Studies
This two-semester foundation course provides the participant
with a full exploration of the trauma field: a comprehensive framework
that includes the history and current theories in the field, the
nature of trauma, how trauma affects individual, social and cultural
systems. It also explores the professional's response to trauma,
developmental considerations and the impact of traumatic stress
on the family and community. Participants analyze the evolution
of trauma over time: from event through assessment, intervention,
recovery, and prevention. Controversies and new developments in
the field are addressed. Multidisciplinary perspectives on the representation
of trauma in the arts, literature and in the media are discussed.
Lectures and discussions are led by experts on the faculty and invited
guest speakers who are pioneers in the field. This course is designed
for a multi-disciplinary audience: health care providers, mental
health professionals, attorneys, human rights advocates, community
activists, journalists and media professionals, academicians and
artists. Participants receive, upon completion, a certificate of
attendance.

II.
Advanced Clinical Seminar Series in Trauma Treatment and Prevention
This seminar series grants clinicians the opportunity to develop
and refine clinical skills based on a trauma intervention model.
The series of half-day seminars, offered over the course of the
academic year, address specific trauma-related topic. Invited
speakers present in-depth explorations of their own research/clinical
work and writings on topics in the trauma field. The synthesis
of essential topics required for clinical skill refinement is
facilitated through case discussion. The Comprehensive Course
in Trauma Studies (one or both semesters) is a co-requisite or
pre-requisite for enrolling in the advanced course. Although primarily
designed for clinicians entering the clinical setting or already
practicing with individual, family or group populations, non-licensed
participants may be eligible for some seminars. Each participant
receives a certificate of attendance.
