Trauma, Crisis, Grief, and Loss Program Description
The PBC in Trauma, Crisis, Grief and Loss will increase students’ knowledge, skills, and awareness in the areas of psychological trauma, grief and loss, crisis intervention, and disaster mental health. The certificate is designed to provide a broad foundation, with additional flexibility to customize coursework according to specialty or interest. Students will complete two survey courses (Trauma and Crisis Intervention; Grief, <br>Mourning, &amp; Bereavement) and choose one of two contextual courses (Developmental OR Historical and Multicultural Perspectives in Thanatology). Finally, they may tailor their certificate to their individual interests by choosing from a range of one-credit and three-credit electives for their final three credits. Master’s students in Clinical Mental Health or School Counseling may earn the TCGL certificate as part of their 60-credit master’s degree by selecting TCGL courses as their allotted 12 credits of electives.
