All students must meet the Requirements for the micro-Certificate of Graduate Study (mCGS)

Overview

Building off foundational content, this micro-Certificate emphasizes the collaborative nature of building resiliency-fostering schools and human service environments that prevent trauma and enhance well-being. Students will gain a deeper socioecological understanding of the structural solutions inherent in equity, culturally sustaining collaborative partnerships with students, community professionals, and families, and resilience.  Through building a toolbox of EBPs for fostering resilience these curriculum and field based experiences provide intensive, evidence-based individualized instruction and interventions through distance learning technologies.
 
Learning activities will 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 3 areas of trauma-informed, school-wide interventions often found in community schools including attendance, wellness, and climate/culture. Students will become acquainted with the research, policies, and ethics that undergird these approaches and about resource organizations that support implementation in each area
