国产哟哟’s Trauma-Informed Professional Practices is an online, graduate-level certificate for educators and professionals who work in school settings or in support roles with children. The course sequence of the program is designed to expand your knowledge of trauma and how it impacts children while also providing you with strategies that you can implement in your classroom or in your work with children. In this program, you will gain a general understanding of the key concepts, theories, and models of trauma and crisis intervention; the connection between traumatic experiences and several behavioral, cognitive and emotional consequences that professionals see in the school setting; learn how to respond to and assess trauma; work with other professionals to help the student cope with trauma; and develop a structured plan that is tailored to the needs of the students, as well as other key topics that will help you to respond and support students and children undergoing trauma.
Please Note: Any prerequisites for the above courses may be waived on a case-by-case basis.
