Additional Feedback for Trauma & Resilience, Level Two:

"If you want to know what it’s really like to work in human services, understand the pivot in viewpoint from “what’s wrong with them” to “what happened to them,” AND have actual tools (not just theory) to use that WORK with future clients, put your money in these 2 courses!"

"Your online platform is very user friendly and the information that you provide in your courses is easily transferrable to regular reference and everyday use in a related field of work. I found the narrow subject matter focus to be very beneficial and all of the modules seemed to build off of one another seamlessly. I look forward to taking more courses at your university!"

“This course took the concepts presented in level one and expanded on them in a way that can be useful no matter what area of social services/ the helping profession you are in. The units that expanded on resilience and post-traumatic growth were excellent, especially given all that the world has experienced over the pandemic.”

“For someone just starting out in a helping field (Social worker, Therapist, or Educators especially) – this course is a great foundational framework. The research and materials presented were top notch. I’ll use a lot of it in my own presentations and education. Highly recommend!"

“I really enjoyed the course! There was a lot of information presented in a creative and thoughtful way. The videos made the content easier to digest and teach important information. I loved the handouts, infographics, and other tangible items I can use with families in the community. I look forward to future courses offered through the school.”

"Great wealth of knowledge and information to better support and understand clients who have experienced a variety of trauma."

“I enjoyed both the Level 1 and Level 2 certifications. If you are new to the concepts of trauma and resilience or have experience in these topics, these courses offered new insights and information for expanded learning.”

“This experience challenged me by highlighting some of the blind spots, biases, and ignorance that we all have as human beings. This coursework holds us accountable for developing best practices that will continue to support the work we do with co-victims of homicide (sudden traumatic loss). It also holds service providers accountable for managing our own trauma and resilience.”

“I had nothing short of a great experience and I highly recommend this course to anyone thinking about taking it. You will come out understanding the dynamics of trauma in all levels of life and ages and many ways to be resilient over them.”

“Both Levels One and Two have been extremely helpful in my profession as an educational leader. It will continue to inform my work as well as my decisions for how we respond to children and provide them with the skills to navigate through their challenges. All educators should take these courses as a part of teacher education certifications.”

“It is nice to be able to complete the course in your own time and at your own pace. Everything is easy to navigate and the site is user friendly. The information is presented in a way that is easy to understand, up-to-date, relevant, and applicable.”

“The course is needed for any professional working with the community and families. We all need to understand that trauma doesn’t target a specific gender or race. We all go through stress and some form of traumatic experience throughout our lives, whether it is abuse or even natural disasters. Resilience is what is needed to overcome our different obstacles in life.”
