Course Description
This course will cover the application of solution-focused, strength-based interventions for people experiencing effects of stress, trauma, and PTSD. The aim is to help survivors amplify resilience and discover possibilities for going beyond recovery towards post-traumatic growth, thereby becoming stronger as a result of adversity. Factors that influence post-traumatic growth as well as methods of facilitating and assessing post-traumatic growth will be explored. Learners will also have opportunities to develop their skills through observing and practicing solution-focused, strength-based interventions in small group practice sessions.
