The Postgraduate Certificate in Trauma Treatment is an online, continuing education (CE) certificate program that delivers a critical overview of trauma and a deep understanding of neurophysiology, trauma theory, and trauma treatment, and how these concepts intersect. This certificate has been developed for anyone with a graduate degree (master’s degree or higher) in the fields of social work, counseling, human services, and allied health professions who have an interest in increasing their knowledge and skills to deal with trauma and trauma recovery. This online certificate includes user-friendly, self-paced modules that incorporate videos, voice-over PowerPoint presentations, downloadable articles, handouts, and quizzes. With a one-year completion window from the time of registration, you can seamlessly integrate your studies into your professional life. As a CE certificate, participants do not need to apply to graduate school, no grades are given, and therefore the certificate will not appear on your University of Tennessee, Knoxville transcript.

This certificate program focused on Tennessee residents, is proudly approved by the National Association of Social Workers, Tennessee Chapter (NASW-TN), ensuring the highest standards of education and recognition within the state.
