EDUC 3341 Trauma-Informed Advocacy to Communities

What is trauma? What is the impact of trauma on the individual? What can communities do to support those impacted by trauma? These questions will be the foundation for the knowledge, skills, and dispositions students will gain in this course. The course will cover historical, generational, and developmental trauma. Students will explore how trauma impacts self-regulation, increases risk-taking behaviors, and contributes to a decline in mental and physical health. Students will learn about resiliency factors contributing to post-traumatic growth and well-being despite traumatic events. Last, students will demonstrate their readiness to serve their community by applying universal and foundational trauma-response interventions in response to community need.
