PSY-8315 - Community Trauma and Resilience

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

In this course you will examine how trauma may manifest at the community level, where symptoms may appear in the physical, economic, social, and cultural environments and subsequently become barriers to solutions that promote health, safety and well-being. Different evidence-based approaches to building trauma-informed, resilient communities will be explored, and post-traumatic growth will be examined. You will also explore theory and current research in the area of community trauma and resilience.
