Taught by leading academics at Anna Freud, the Psychology and Trauma (Child and Adolescent) PG Cert provides you with the opportunity to explore the latest research evidence and applied practice related to the psychological impact of trauma in childhood. This innovative and flexible programme is studied entirely online, on a full-time basis.
Taught by leading academics and clinicians across the UCL-Anna Freud partnership, the Psychology and Trauma (Child and Adolescent) PG Cert provides you with the opportunity to explore the latest research evidence and applied practice considerations related to the psychological impact of trauma and adversity in childhood.
Foundational modules focus on key theories in the field, refining your understanding of how exposure to traumatic events shapes an individual’s experience over the lifespan. You will learn about the potential mental health consequences of trauma, as well as evidence-based practice for prevention and intervention for trauma with children and families. The course takes a multi-perspective approach spanning neuroscience, cognitive and behavioural theories, and systems theories. The programme also considers important systemic, cultural, and global contexts, and explores trauma and psychology across varied lenses and sectors, such as public health, education and social care.
This course is specifically aimed at professionals working in sectors such as psychology, mental health, health care, social care, education, community, criminal justice, or public health. This will include professionals working with either adult populations, or children and adolescents. A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelors degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard is required. Alternatively, a lower second-class honours degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard will be considered if there is evidence of sufficient professional experience in a relevant setting. Applicants will usually have a degree in Psychology, Mental Health, Public Health, Social Sciences, Child Development, Education, Social Work or related disciplines, but those with a degree in another discipline will be considered if there is evidence of sufficient professional experience in a relevant setting.
