The Trauma Prevention and Recovery Certificate trains students as paraprofessionals to work in the field of violence prevention and trauma response, including service provision to victims and survivors of violence. It also trains service providers such as probation officers or nurses who routinely work with survivors of traumatic events to understand and respond to concerns unique to survivors.

This interdisciplinary curriculum educates students on (a) the causes and consequences of diverse forms of violence; (b) programmatic approaches to prevention and intervention; (c) the specific effects of violence on children and their families; (d) peer counseling and client-centered skills for working with victims and survivors; and (e) historic and aesthetic approaches to understanding violence, trauma and recovery, including the study of art, music and literature that has emerged from such experiences. Students in this program develop a broad understanding of violence and its impact on diverse individuals, families, communities and societies. This certificate program focuses on how violence affects individuals and groups, including considerations of ability/disability, age, culture, ethnicity/race, gender, gender identity/sexuality, and immigration status. Students develop skills to critically analyze social constructs that contribute to violence, listen empathically, offer appropriate referrals, and provide culturally-competent peer support.
