Microcredential geared toward students and working professionals<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

ROCHESTER, N.Y. \u2013 <\/strong>Greater Rochester region\u2019s employers across various sectors \u2013 including criminal justice, education and health care \u2013 report a significant demand for professionals skilled in trauma-informed care to ensure their employees provide community residents with the best possible care and support.<\/p>\n

Starting in January 2024, Monroe Community College will offer a credit-bearing, three-course Trauma Informed Care microcredential covering competencies and skills relevant to effectively providing services and interacting with people impacted by trauma. The program provides participants with foundational knowledge and skills in the areas of trauma and trauma-informed care, communication and crisis management, and management and rehabilitation of clients with mental health disorders. (Visit MCC\u2019s website to learn more about the program<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe need for trauma-informed professionals continues to grow in our region and nationally. \u00a0The local community continues to contact MCC to share information about current job openings and seeking graduates for positions,\u201d said Rick Costanza, chair of MCC\u2019s Department of Education and Human Services. \u201cThe skills learned through this coursework will better prepare those workers to provide trauma-informed care and support.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program prepares participants to effectively support individuals receiving services in various settings. It benefits participants studying or employed in various fields, including human services, addiction counseling, health, education, community and disability services, early care, emergency services and criminal justice.<\/p>\n

Upon program completion, participants are prepared to apply their specific skill sets to their chosen field or continue their education toward a certificate or degree in a related field. Microcredentials are designed to allow some \u201con\u201d and \u201coff\u201d ramps so a person can pause or intersperse employment as needed. Programs are narrowly focused so learners achieve specific skills and competencies in their chosen field of study or profession relevant to industry, community or their individual needs.<\/p>\n

The Trauma Informed Care program will be offered on an ongoing basis through MCC\u2019s Department of Education and Human Services at its Downtown Campus, 321 State St. <\/strong>in the High Falls district.<\/em><\/p>\n
