This course is an elective course in the Online Trauma-Informed Organization Certificate Program that was created by the University at Buffalo School of Social Work’s Institute on Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care (ITTIC).
The elective course offers a foundation of information regarding implementation of Trauma-Informed Care in organizations and systems that support people who use substances. This course intends to support all actors within such systems -- whether in clinical or non-clinical roles -- to integrate knowledge on trauma and skills related to a trauma-informed approach into their interactions with people seeking services and supports. The course also explores integrating the principles of a trauma-informed approach into interactions with colleagues as well as embedding these principles in overall organizational culture. The module spans a variety of relevant topics and provides concrete guidance on best practices when applying each value/principle of a trauma-informed approach in relevant settings.
Learning Objectives:
Target Audience: This course is appropriate for all levels of leaders, professionals, and allied staff who work within organizations and systems that support people who use substances seeking foundational information on trauma and a Trauma-Informed approach.
