Foundations of Trauma-Informed Care

School of Social Work

Program Description

This micro-credential focuses on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), an approach that assumes that an individual is more likely than not to have a history of trauma. TIC recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role trauma may play in an individual's life—including service staff. Learners can either contract as an organization with ITTIC or complete four online modules, which will provide foundational training on trauma and TIC before responding to a scenario to showcase their skills.
