Program Overview
Building off foundational content in the Certificate of Graduate Study in Resiliency-Based Approaches, this micro-certificate (mCGS) pathway emphasizes the collaborative nature of building resiliency-fostering schools and human service environments that prevent trauma and enhance well-being. Students gain a deeper socioecological understanding of the structural solutions inherent in equity, culturally sustaining collaborative partnerships with students, community professionals, and families, and resilience.
Building a toolbox of Evidence-Based Practices for fostering resilience, curricular and field-based experiences provide intensive, evidence-based individualized instruction and interventions through distance learning technologies.
Learning activities engage students in understanding and interprofessional skills application related to family-school-community partnerships, secondary trauma and self-care, cultural humility, and collaborative practices.
Further, this course will examine best practices in at least three areas of trauma-informed, school-wide interventions to increase attendance, wellness, and school climate/culture.
Students will become acquainted with the research, policies, and ethics involved with these approaches and about resource organizations that support implementation in each area.
