HSCD 601 Cognitive Behavioral and Trauma-Informed Strategies

In this course, students explore cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs), trauma-informed strategies (TIS) and their application to substance use disorders counseling (SUDC) and co-occurring disorders counseling (CODC). Theory, research base and practice are all emphasized. In considering the theoretical base of CBTs and TIS, students investigate the research and service gaps in multicultural application of these interventions. The course includes a practice dimension that allows students to advance their skills in using multiple cognitive-behavioral approaches with clients in SUDC and CODC.
