Description:

Creating a school-wide trauma sensitive environment This course of study covers intergenerational trauma. Researchers and clinicians have become increasingly aware that the effects of trauma suffered by one generation - whether individual or collective trauma - are passed on to subsequent generations. Many therapists who treat offspring of traumatized parents or grandparents insufficiently or ineffectively treat the presenting symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or marital issues without understanding that these symptoms have a longer background that needs to be more directly addressed. This course will teach professionals how to recognize intergenerational transmission of trauma, understand the mechanisms of transmission, and comprehend treatment principles. (3 credits)
