This class aims to address our understanding to trauma response. In the last few years, PTSD has become a common phrase in emergency services, yet our understanding of it's manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment is not well known. This class will lean on evidence based research to explain the origins of trauma and more importantly, the path towards resiliency. Over the course of history, we have learned that often, the best way to grow is through adversity. The class will describe the importance of understanding our own trauma stories and learning the common methods of growth. These include social support, mindfulness, rest, and meaning.
