“This course was a highly effective blend of information, knowledge, concepts, and skills that I was aware of, things I hadn’t been able to articulate to myself, and things I did not know. Through a variety of teaching modalities, videos, and handouts, I was easily able to think about how I could apply ideas and materials in my own courses, and in one-on-one interactions with students and colleagues who I feel like I could not only collaborate with, but to also offer insights and suggestions as relevant and appropriate. I appreciate this course’s existence, period, but also its high quality and that the people who built it have an advanced knowledge of Articulate tools. I would take another course from FSU in the future.”
“This course offers a helpful compilation of information and resources related to college student wellbeing, trauma, and resilience. It is user friendly and easy to integrate into a busy schedule.”
“I found it most helpful that each chapter was broken into manageable chunks and it allowed me to work at my own pace, keep my progress tracked, and go back and forth as needed to review. The content was well laid out and provided me with a strong sense of understanding how I can better improve my work in our Student Life department.”
“This was excellent! The information was superb and well researched. Highly recommend this course.”
“The course takes a deep dive into very real student struggles and helps professionals gain the knowledge and skills they need to assist students. I consider it essential for everyone from top administration to student affairs, to counseling, to advising.”
“I was blessed to have the opportunity to go through this College Student Wellbeing, Trauma, & Resilience course. As a counselor in a college setting, I found it to be completely worthwhile and extremely helpful to my daily work. I will be sharing the institutional information with my supervisor for consideration as well.”
“The information was all so helpful to paint the full picture of student resilience at every level. Everything was so clear and concise which made it easily digestible. The handouts and additional resources were all so helpful and will have continued use outside of this course. I would highly recommend this course.”
“If you take your time and self-reflect during this course you can walk away with a great set of tools to help out your students and colleagues.”
“I hope that more people, especially those who do not have experience in the Social Work or Human Services professions, will take this course. I feel it could reduce the drop out rate for students and increase the support provided to them.”
“The timeliness and specific case scenarios were very applicable. The content offered some new perspectives, specifically around the COVID-19 impact on our students and how we can support them, that I plan to take back to my team. I was able to relate everything covered in this course to my actual work. This made the course more engaging and beneficial. I also appreciated having some of the downloadable worksheets/items to be able to utilize with my students.”
“Very well organized, engaging, and highly informed.”
“I enjoyed the course. It was helpful because it is related to my teaching courses and my research interest.”

“As an academic advisor, I find this topic highly relevant. The information shared matches what I see with my students and I feel the course offers many tools to support them as they navigate college and adulthood after trauma.”
“This certification gave me lots of resources and references to bring back for training my staff to be more trauma-informed, and lots of ideas for programs!”
“I really enjoyed the course, and hope to use much of it with my first year seminar students. The downloadable handouts are useful for sharing with students and staff members.”
“I absolutely loved the course. I am currently in the dissertation phase of my EdD and am researching the use of trauma informed practices in higher education, specifically in medical schools. The best practices taught in this course should be the foundation used by all medical schools to support the mental health and well being of their students. Kudos to you and the rest of your team. I learned so many things that I can put into practice immediately.”
“The resiliency module was new information and worth the money. I also gained some new insights on compassion fatigue and will share with colleagues. The Ted talks and handouts were also very helpful.”
“This course is very affordable and a great opportunity for college faculty to learn how to better connect with their students.”
“This certification program was incredible. I learned so much, and feel so much more prepared to resume teaching this Fall. Especially in a time of global turmoil, this program is a must for all educators and other professionals working with emerging adults.”
“This training created an environment for personal growth and understanding of both myself and others.”
