A Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) in Trauma-Informed Practice is now available through the Falk College’s Department of Marriage and Family Therapy. Comprehensive in scope, it prepares professionals to respond to trauma across a broad scope of origins, symptoms and systems. Core courses and electives address the theoretical foundations of trauma, as well as evidence-based trauma-informed practice approaches and techniques. Trauma-informed care provides a way for different agencies and groups to come together around a common concern. In a trauma-informed framework, prevention programs, human services, government agencies, and civic groups work together to create healthier and safer communities.
