About the Certificate
Trauma affects millions of people worldwide each year. Individuals affected by natural disasters, war, ethnic conflict, and gender-based violence can suffer long-lasting psychological symptoms that cause significant personal distress and interfere with optimal functioning. Despite this, trauma survivors’ psychological needs frequently go untreated. Arcadia’s certificate in trauma responds to the growing need for counselors to assist clients who have been impacted by traumatic experiences both locally and internationally. Advanced counselor training in trauma includes both short-term interventions and long-term care. Specialty courses focus on evidence-based treatments of trauma, strategies for treating grief and bereavement, as well as advocacy and social justice. If you are a licensed professional counselor, a doctoral level psychologist, or have a master’s degree in a clinical field such as counseling or social work, this certificate program is designed to meet your continuing education needs in trauma-focused counseling.
