“This course was a highly effective blend of information, knowledge, concepts, and skills that I was aware of, things I hadn’t been able to articulate to myself, and things I did not know. Through a variety of teaching modalities, videos, and handouts, I was easily able to think about how I could apply ideas and materials in my own courses, and in one-on-one interactions with students and colleagues who I feel like I could not only collaborate with, but to also offer insights and suggestions as relevant and appropriate. I appreciate this course’s existence, period, but also its high quality and that the people who built it have an advanced knowledge of Articulate tools. I would take another course from FSU in the future.”
 

“This was excellent! The information was superb and well researched. Highly recommend this course.”

“This course offers a helpful compilation of information and resources related to college student wellbeing, trauma, and resilience. It is user-friendly and easy to integrate into a busy schedule.

“I found it most helpful that each chapter was broken into manageable chunks and it allowed me to work at my own pace, keep my progress tracked, and go back and forth as needed to review. The content was well laid out and provided me with a strong sense of understanding how I can better improve my work in our Student Life department.”

“The course takes a deep dive into very real student struggles and helps professionals gain the knowledge and skills they need to assist students. I consider it essential for everyone from top administration to student affairs, to counseling, to advising.”

“I was blessed to have the opportunity to go through this College Student Wellbeing, Trauma, & Resilience course. As a counselor in a college setting, I found it to be completely worthwhile and extremely helpful to my daily work. I will be sharing the institutional information with my supervisor for consideration as well.”
 

“Your online platform is very user friendly and the information that you provide in your courses is easily transferrable to regular reference and everyday use in a related field of work. I found the narrow subject matter focus to be very beneficial and all of the modules seemed to build off of one another seamlessly. I look forward to taking more courses at your university!
 

“I really enjoyed the course! There was a lot of information presented in a creative and thoughtful way. The videos made the content easier to digest and teach important information. I loved the handouts, infographics, and other tangible items I can use with families in the community. I look forward to future courses offered through the school.”

“I appreciate how the course is structured and how each section is divided into smaller segments. I was able to watch or read little portions at a time, which allowed me to work through the course at my own pace (around my busy schedule). The materials and scenarios were easy to access and were helpful to my understanding of the topics.”

“Both Levels One and Two have been extremely helpful in my profession as an educational leader. It will continue to inform my work as well as my decisions for how we respond to children and provide them with the skills to navigate through their challenges. All educators should take these courses as a part of teacher education certifications.”

“For someone just starting out in a helping field (Social worker, Therapist, or Educators especially) – this course is a great foundational framework. The research and materials presented were top notch. I’ll use a lot of it in my own presentations and education. Highly recommend!“

“As a twenty-year army Non-Commissioned Officer, I value the tradition of professional expertise and this course is about being the best at helping victims of trauma. The resource PDFs and videos were very helpful and realistic; I truly enjoyed the real-world experience of the presenters.”
 

“This course offers a much-needed overview of insights into trafficking and the current efforts needed by all citizens to take their part in the anti-trafficking community. It takes all of us coming together to create a world free from slavery. This course will help with your understanding of the issue, address common misconceptions, and equip you to take action in your own life to be able to recognize and report trafficking, assist survivors, as well as play your part in prevention efforts.”

“I truly felt re-motivated after this course to continue working within the HT realm.”

““This course included a wide array of information and resources regarding Human Trafficking in a variety of different professions and services. The information was presented in a way that was comfortable to read and comprehend and offered very insightful information that I will be able to utilize in my career endeavors.”

“The information I learned has continued to be helpful since I took the course last fall. I’m currently an MSW student at Fordham University. Last year, I was working on a paper about human trafficking and was trying to learn as much as I could about current policies and how they were developed. The certification program was definitely helpful with that but I’ve been surprised by how much the information covered and the way it was presented has impacted my ability to discuss these topics with a group of high school students I currently mentor. I am so grateful I came across the Human Trafficking Prevention course. It was such a positive learning experience that I’ve since taken the Trauma & Resilience courses. I really appreciate how well-developed and comprehensive the courses available through the FSU Center for Academic & Professional Development have been. “
 

“I can't wait to take the second course. I am the Vice President of Programs at Girls, inc., a youth serving organization, and having taken Level One, I feel incredibly equipped to not only support our girls and families, but (even better!) to also support our staff and ensure that policies are in place to promote resiliency in all."

“Excellent course. It offers an in-depth study of trauma & resilience. I especially appreciated the case studies/scenarios and the wealth of resources and references that were provided. I believe this information will be helpful as I consult and work with clients.”

“I thought I knew a lot about trauma but I learned so much from this course! The support staff was extremely helpful and responsive. I also loved that the course had flexibility in the amount of time allowed to complete it, as I have a very demanding job and I was able to complete it without stressing out about time frames."

“I'm a certified special education supervisor. The training helps me lead my department in developing trauma informed IEPs and furthering our goals to provide positive behavior intervention and supports to all students.”

“The course was awesome! I am a non-profit administrator and attorney working with women, girls, and native Hawaiian females affected by trauma and incarceration. I enrolled my entire team and recommended the course to colleagues. Thank you, FSU.”

“I really like this training: it covers trauma in depth and is well researched. Each section builds on the previous. I appreciated that they gave me information in ways that were eary to read, and then complemented it wiht in-depth articles and resources for further reading. I didn't have to go searching for things. As a practitioner, that was helpful.”
