Disaster Mental Health
The Disaster Mental Health certificate includes deep dives into learning about disaster resilience and trauma studies. However, the disasters covered in this certificate’s course of study are by no means large scale events: some disasters are more personal and some are man-made, slow-moving and systemic; some affect only one family or one person. Each of these disasters has an impact on communities and individuals, and it’s up to social workers to step in and help those in need overcome their personal challenges.

Family Practice
The Family Practice certificate places a focus on various types of family intervention, including structural, narrative, cognitive-behavioral, multi-systemic, collaborative, emotionally focused and functional family therapy approaches. Since everyone comes from a family of origin and is influenced by their familial relationships over the course of their life, a specialty in this area opens an avenue to work with people across a variety of areas (substance abuse, mental illness, child maltreatment, and much more).
