Overview
Trauma is more than a condition – it is a crippling, life-altering state of mind that can make the most common tasks impossible, damage relationships, and destroy one’s sense of self. Victims of trauma often find themselves in a pit of indescribable despair that seems impossible to climb out of. Fortunately, help and hope are available – and if you want to be part of the help available to trauma victims, the Health Sciences - Trauma-Informed Care (Online) program from Liberty University Online can equip you with the skills you need.
This degree program has been designed with the success of both you and your clients in mind. In this trauma psychology program, you will dive into curricula that cover a wide variety of topics – including ethical issues in the health sciences, crisis and first responder training, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and combat trauma, and much more. Our professors are experts with years of experience in education and trauma treatment – so you can feel confident in the quality of instruction you will receive.
