Overview
Over the past few decades, clinicians and researchers have become increasingly aware of the effects of trauma on individuals, families, and communities. This growing recognition of exposure to trauma and its deleterious impacts has fueled the movement for strategies to ameliorate traumatic stress reactions. This interdisciplinary certificate program, Strategies for Trauma-informed Approaches Improving Resilience (STAIR), is designed to prepare undergraduate students for their respective professional fields, using research-based practices in trauma recognition, assessment of impact, and skill development to address the needs of those with trauma histories. The STAIR certificate is open to all majors. Courses for the certificate may also meet the requirements for other degree programs.
