Growing from Traumatic Life Experiences
Academic Noncredit

This online course teaches about "Positive Psychology of Trauma and PTSD" (Wilson, 2006), post-traumatic growth, and stress-related growth. Students explore 20 growth concepts and three models of PTG using a case study approach. They analyze how individuals develop strengths and transform themselves after adversity. Two weeks are devoted traumatic stress reactions, but most of the course focuses on PTG.

This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course.

Online book and material fees may be added up until the first week of class. Students may opt out during the first two weeks of class. For more information, visit the Campus Store Inclusive Access Program's webpage. If you opt out, you will be responsible for obtaining the course materials yourself for the course.
