The MSU School of Social Work Continuing Education Program is excited to announce the

Trauma CertificateIn-person, Live Webinar, and Online Courses!

Certificate OverviewThe Trauma Certificate is designed to help human service professionals learn techniques to improve their work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who have experienced trauma.

Experiences of trauma are complex and unique to each individual, family, and community. Understanding the impact of trauma on the brain and on behavior is critical to inform your work and gives you the tools to apply a trauma-informed lens. The Trauma Certificate exposes you to innovative information, helps you prepare to support those who have experienced trauma, and gives you the opportunity to add specialization in your area of work. The Trauma Certificate courses are developed to meet the interdisciplinary needs of multiple systems and professions and also prioritize developing self-care practices in all professionals to reduce the risk of secondary traumatic stress and compassion fatigue.
