Description
This course prepares students to provide effective, ethical crisis and trauma counseling across diverse cultural and developmental contexts. Students examine the impact of historical events, multigenerational trauma, and contemporary issues on individuals and communities, as well as the effects of crises, disasters, stress, grief, and trauma across the lifespan. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based models for suicide prevention, crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, community-based response, and disaster mental health. Students develop advanced skills in trauma assessment, identifying and reporting abuse and neglect, and responding to risks of aggression, self-harm, and suicide. Theory and practice are integrated to prepare students to intervene competently and compassionately, promoting safety, recovery, and resilience.
