CJS30010 - Introduction to Trauma Informed Systems

(3 units)

This course will provide an overview of Trauma Informed Systems. The framework of Trauma Informed Systems shall provide foundational grounding so that students will come to a shared understanding of the distinctions between systems, services and workforce. Emphasis will be placed on how to apply this framework within a transdisciplinary approach. Exploration of impact of the Adverse Childhood Studies and Resilience research shall be provided so that universal understandings of inter-individual variations of ecology can be integrated and applied to current workloads and workforce interactions. The course is expected to deepen students’ understanding and application of Trauma Informed Culture in the context of connectivity and overlap for the families that often touch several systems concurrently.
