Trauma Informed Care in Addiction

This course provides students with the opportunity to develop knowledge about the impact of trauma and implications for the treatment of individuals who use substances and or engage in other compulsive behaviours. Students will explore trauma-informed practices that are being used in screening, assessment and treatment of individuals. Given the potential for vicarious trauma, the development of a well-thought-out personal and professional self-care plan will be a focus of this course.
