PY 622 Trauma, Advocacy, and Social Justice


This course is taught using ecological and emancipatory frameworks, paying close attention to sociopolitical (e.g., poverty, discrimination) and ethno-cultural considerations in understanding the prevalence of trauma and the development, conceptualization and treatment of traumarelated symptoms. Specifically, the course addresses topics such as disaster counseling, intimate partner and community violence, historical trauma, and refugee mental health. Students learn skills in both treatment (e.g., disaster response, crisis-intervention, cross-cultural counseling) and prevention (e.g., political advocacy, public education).

Prerequisite: PY 572  and PY 586 .
