Deadline: Trauma Studies Seminar Application

The International Trauma Studies Program (ITSP) is a training and research institute in New York City, committed to enhancing the resilience and coping capacities in individuals, families, and communities that have endured and/or are threatened by traumatic events. This ITSP seminar will last from Sept. 2010 through May 2011 and will explore mental health and psychosocial responses to massive trauma and loss in various cultural contexts. The seminar draws on classical and recent readings, research papers, case studies, and materials from the ITSP audiovisual library of prior workshops and presentations. The seminar is accompanied by a performance workshop that will explore current issues and challenges of trauma affected populations living in New York City.

Applicants with prior ITSP certificate training and/or experienced graduates in mental health, health, and allied professions are encouraged to apply. Applicants without a graduate degree but with significant experience and training in the trauma/psychosocial field will be considered for acceptance to the seminar.
