The School of Social Work’s Institute on Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care (ITTIC) offers a Foundations of Trauma-Informed Care micro-credential program that awards individuals a digital badge upon completion.
This micro-credential focuses on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), an approach that assumes that an individual is more likely than not to have a history of trauma. TIC recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role trauma may play in an individual’s life — including service staff. Learners can either contract as an organization with ITTIC or complete four online modules, which will provide foundational training on trauma and TIC before responding to a scenario to showcase their skills.
Both options require participants to submit a written response to a case scenario to demonstrate their application of trauma-informed approaches.
